Regarding a verb "since" and adverb "until now" usage
My question/doubt: This is regarding a sentence which I said to some shopping site for delayed shipping. I wanna know I had used the preposition "from" and adverb "until now" correctly or not in my sentence which I'm mentioning from second paragraph. So it's both a grammatical question and a grammar-confirm-doubt question 
Sentence : "So yours 24 hours haven't completed from/since 15th of March to until now(18th of March)"
Thanks

"So, your "24 hours" has lasted from the 15th of March until the 18th of March."

Why did you use the Present Perfect if the time is defined and finished?

Would be glad if you have told the reason where my sentence is wrong.

Where I'm erring, where I'm going wrong.
Thanks

If you delete the "s" and the "to", your original sentence is not too bad using "from". It's a bit awkward though.
