What a Process Server Costs in Newbury Township
Of the three, 24-Hour Service is the one to ask about before you count on it. At $265 it aims for a first attempt within 24 hours, but the rates page promises it nowhere, and Cleveland, the nearest of its six named areas, is not Newbury. Rush Service at $225 aims for 48 hours. Standard Service at $185 aims for 5 business days. After an unsuccessful attempt, each added one costs $25. See rates.
