What's included

Everything in the flat rate.

No per-attempt upcharges. No mileage line items inside the standard coverage area.

Rush is the same workflow as Standard, run on a compressed clock. From the moment payment clears, the case routes preferentially to the next available server in the defendant's zip code with the highest historical success rate for that document type. First attempt is the next business day; all attempts complete within 48 hours, including at least one early-morning or evening attempt to maximize the chance of personal service. Use Rush when an upcoming hearing, a 5-day notice to quit, a TRO return date, or a statute-of-limitations countdown puts pressure on the service window. Rush carries a priority assignment bonus to the server, which is why we route it preferentially to top-tier field operators. The 6-hour proof-of-service turnaround means the signed POS lands in your inbox the same day service is effected. If the defendant cannot be served personally within the window, you receive a declaration of due diligence in time to substitute service the same business day. Rush includes one free retry if a court rejects the proof for a clerical issue.

FAQ

Common questions.

If your situation isn't here, start a chat and we'll answer specifically.

How fast is the first attempt?

Within the next business day of payment confirmation. In our densest counties — Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego — that is often inside the next 4 business hours.

When should I pick Rush over Expedited?

Rush when you need a documented diligence record across multiple attempts to support a future sub-service motion. Expedited when one same-day attempt at a confirmed address is enough.

Does Rush guarantee successful service?

No service can be guaranteed. Rush guarantees the 24-48 hour attempt schedule. If the defendant is unreachable at the address, you receive a declaration of due diligence inside that same window.

Can I upgrade a Standard order to Rush mid-case?

Yes, until the first attempt has been made. The upgrade fee is the $60 price difference.

Is Rush available everywhere Servd operates?

Yes — every county in our coverage map supports Rush. Outside dense metros, the first-attempt window may slip closer to 24 hours; we flag any expected slippage at order confirmation.
