The name we gave Overnight on the App Store is “Overnight: Express Shipping, Tracking, Pricing & Drop Locations”. We know that’s a mouthful, but this app is an iPhone full. There really is no way to describe how much actually went into this app.

We started working on Overnight back in June BEFORE the App Store launched. I know what you’re thinking, “wow, these guys are slow”. Trust us, that’s not the case. Overnight is one of those home-fix-it projects that starts out as something as simple as re-caulking the bath tub. So you head to Home Depot or Lowes and buy some caulk, but while you’re there you see some great looking tile. But when you get the tile in, the sink doesn’t match. You see where I’m going. Before you know it, you have a $25,000 bathroom remodel job on your hands. But when you’re finally done, you realize it’s a masterpiece and you’re so happy to you did it.

That’s how we feel about Overnight. It’s truly amazing how many features we crammed into this app. In fact, we’d like to use the full word. Let’s call it an application. So that we don’t repeat the App Store description, we won’t list out all the features, but Overnight has all the tools you need to price, send, track and receive any express shipment.

Overnight can help you: Find a drop box location or post office, what time does this FedEx Kinko’s close, when is today’s latest drop, what are their hours, are they open on Saturday, what ZIP code am I in, tracking packages, getting a price quote, how much more if I insure my package, how much will I save if I can wait one more day, did that package arrive, I need to send this tracking information to my customer, how long will it take to drive to this drop location, I need directions to that UPS Store, how much will I save if I send it Ground, blah, blah, blah. You get the idea.

We hope you enjoy Overnight. It’s fresh out of the Bottle Rocket app oven. Lightly browned and crispy on the edges…
