Melbourne to Canberra — air freight same-day
Melbourne to Canberra is 661km. By road it is about 7.5 hours via the Hume Highway — too slow for same-day. Air freight is the same-day option: driver to Tullamarine, freight flight to Canberra Airport (CBR), Canberra driver to the delivery address. The 10am Melbourne cutoff allows for a lunchtime arrival in Canberra and afternoon metro delivery.
Canberra and Melbourne are in the same time zone (both observe daylight saving). The transit is short — about 1 hour flying — so a mid-morning Melbourne lodgement means early-afternoon Canberra delivery in most cases.

Government and public service operations dominate the Canberra economy, which means document and equipment courier between Melbourne and Canberra is primarily driven by federal agencies, consultancies and contractors. Legal and official document exchange is a common booking type. For non-urgent Melbourne–Canberra sends, overnight air freight is cheaper.
