Did you pick up the box immediately after you got the box list in the afternoon or the next day?

You can pick up the box after you take the packing list, but the specific time to pick up the box depends on the distance of the loading place and the specific packing time. Generally, the boxes are packed early the next morning, and the team always packed the empty boxes the night before. The situation you encounter may be that the team can't arrange cars the night before, so they can only wait for empty boxes early that day, or there are no empty boxes in the yard, so the team can't get empty boxes and can only wait.
