Unless a Sacramento courier service has specifically advertised themselves as a twenty four hour courier service with no after hours surcharges, there is a good chance that anytime you call them to make a delivery outside of their regularly posted business hours that you are going to be facing some fairly substantial surcharges.

There are a lot of different fees and surcharges which can be added on to a courier bill, such as a fuel surcharge when gas prices are high, but often the most expensive among these are going to be the fees required for a delivery made outside of the regular business hours for a courier.

This might be different from service to service but should be from around 6AM in the morning to anywhere between 6PM and midnight. Be sure to check what your couriers regular business hours are so that you know if you are requesting an order be made outside of them, otherwise you might be extremely surprised when you get your bill for a certain order.

Don\'t be afraid to spend some time looking for a courier service that might not hit you as hard with these kinds of fees though. There are services out there which specialize in after hours or 24 hour delivery which might offer lower fees on this kind of service, it should just take some time spent searching on the internet to find them.

Most major centers are going to have a company or two which can offer these services. Some might have no fees for doing so, and some might have minor fees, whereas other might only have one or two on call drivers for the late hours and so might have very expensive surcharges. Others might not make deliveries after hours at all.

Couriers all structure their fees slightly differently in order to try and be as competitive as possible. You can use this to your advantage by looking for a courier that suits your needs to make the most of what they are offering.

For example, a company with slightly higher rates that offers low after hour fees might be great for you if you make more deliveries during the middle of the night than during the day, whereas a company that has lower everyday rates but no after hours service might be of no use to you at all. Be sure to ask about fees and surcharge structure before placing an order.
