  Many UK boxes will just have a last-collection of 17:15 on them. 
  This is because the cutoff time for guaranteed next day delivery on
  first class mail is 17:00.  By only guaranting the box will be
  cleared after 17:00, the Royal Mail give themselves an extra day
  (or at least part of a day) to get the mail there on time.
