The daily maintenance cycle happens at a most inopportune time, right when it's
mailing time - 16:00 - and I'm doing all sorts of record-keeping.

Maintenance has to happen at sometime. Given the redirection has to happen from
a requested URL to a the maintenance URL - https://www.bricklink.com/oops.asp?err=dailyOffline
- could that URL encode the original target, so a refresh will execute the request
at 4pm, once the site's back up? Better yet, include an automatic, timed
redirect so I don't even have to manually intervene.

Or should I move to a less inconvenient timezone? Would that be easier for you?

I find it hit when I am doing my mailing as well (after work and kids are in
bed). I have found that after the site is back up, if you use the back button
in the browser, it usually goes to where you were and can then continue. For
instance, when adding inventory and you click th last button and it goes to the
maintenance page, if you go back then click the add to inventory button, it adds
the items.
