Why same-day on the Ottawa to Toronto lane

Standard overnight couriers move Ottawa to Toronto next-day. We move it the same business day, in 5-6 hours, with one driver. Here is what that buys you.

Twenty-four hours back

Next-day standard is 24 hours. Ours is 5-6 hours. The difference is filing the contract today instead of tomorrow morning.

Comparing against Purolator same-day in Ottawa? Their counter routes through a depot, then promises next-day. We pick up at your door and run the corridor direct.
“

We file Federal Court appeals from our Ottawa office and the originals have to be in Toronto. PrimeRoutes picks up at 5am, drives the 401 non-stop, and the documents are time-stamped at the Toronto registry before close. No other courier offered this, overnight was the only option until we found them.
