Make the Expressman last longer, or add forced time frame to it

Currently, there is no point in the Expressman as it leaves immediately when you enter the pre-room. This is mainly because you either are alone in the run, or every player enters the pre-room immediately leaving no time do actually use the mechanic. I have found myself camping the stairs with the sole intention of using the expressman but it leaves as soon as I enter. Maybe add a 30 sec time window (even if all players are waiting) so that it makes sense to have such a merchant

Feels like you need to enter red stairs the moment they open and even then you have just couple of seconds.

Couple that with the fact you can't fast move items to his inventory and we have a very janky addition.

You place the items in while in dungeon, then you pay the fee at the expressman merchant in the merchants section

He gets you the items, when the instance of the dungeon is complete. All players left or died.

You jusat give him items, but whole raid needs to end for them to be delivered.

Access his window, it remains open and active after hes gone. Put items in, close the window theyre saved.

You grind for a ten minutes, then give players 2 minute break for toilet or expressman.....Sheesh the logic of some people

Valid point. The expressman mechanic simply becomes obsolete if you cant even move 2 items over before the next round starts. 20s should be fine, maybe starting once the previous level closes.
