Rush Service at $225 aims for a first attempt within 48 hours, and Standard Service at $185 for a first attempt within 5 business days. A repeat visit after a failed delivery is $25 per attempt.
Cuyahoga County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Certified mail from the clerk is the usual opening move. A plaintiff who wants something more personal files a written request for personal or residence service, which the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server fulfills. See the Cuyahoga County page.
