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.
