So collected goods don't go out until early evening, which seems
logical. In which case, why not have a portion of your fleet doing
collections all day, and a portion doing deliveries all day? Or even
just a few extra vans dedicated to evening deliveries?

Because take for example my depot I was at. It had around 2500
deliveries per day and maybe a couple of hundred or so collections
spread over East and North Yorkshire from Goole at the south most point
to Redcar at the north most and Harrogate to the West and Withernsea to
the East. You should look at how big an area that is.

Clearly it's possible to do evening deliveries, as I'm sure the OP in
this thread can testify.

It may be possible but it is far from commercially viable. A depot
typically receives around 60p per parcel it delivers from the total
cost with the rest going to the hub.

I also don't have a lot of understanding about logistics.

Its obvious.

The point is, I don't care about logistics.

Yes you do.

I want a company that specialises in
moving things from A to B to occasionally be able to move something I
want from a suppliers A to my B at a time to suit me. That's all.

Hence you care about it.
