do you know how many packages they take? As many as can safely fit into conductor's compartment. They can refuse to take package if it would get train delayed - so better have exact amount of cash because card readers on trains are extremely slow. How does the receiver know when their package is coming? (other than the train timetable) Train timetable only. For most trains delay information is published on operator's website. Delays are rare, except holiday season. If receiver misses their package it goes to closest warehouse, then receiver is called and can request delivery by another train, but needs to pay another 4$ on pick-up (plus fee for every day package spends in warehouse).
