Routine, rush, and same-day process serving
Routine service works best when the assignment allows normal routing and multiple attempts if necessary. Rush service is appropriate when the deadline is approaching or the client requests expedited handling. Same-day requests require immediate review because timing, travel, access, and the recipient’s likely availability all affect feasibility.
For urgent matters, call (800) 695-7480 before sending the assignment. Then Use the online Order Service form and include the exact address, deadline, recipient details, and any information that could help the server identify the correct person or location.
