First attempt: same day
Same-Day Process Service
First attempt the same day you submit, then daily follow-up attempts for up to 3 business days.
Chapter 01
When the order signs late in the day
A judge signs an order at four in the afternoon, or a deadline lands on a Friday with a hearing that will not move to next week. The Standard tier's seven-day window, and even the 2-Day Rush tier, can be too slow when a case turns on getting papers into someone's hands before a specific date.
Same-Day Process Service exists for exactly that gap. The first attempt happens the same day you submit the request, not the next business day and not sometime this week. For attorneys, paralegals and landlords working a hearing date anywhere across North Carolina and the wider SwiftWings Express service area, that's often the difference between a case that proceeds on schedule and one that gets continued.

How the same-day tier runs
The request goes in online the same way every SwiftWings Express job does: documents, service address and a note on timing, submitted any hour of the day or night. There's no office to visit and nothing to schedule around. The on-duty Process Master picks up the request and works it the same day it arrives.
If the first attempt doesn't land, the tier doesn't stop there. Daily follow-up attempts continue for up to three business days, with each one logged so you can see exactly when and how it was tried. Call (828) 380-7650 if you want to talk through timing before you submit, whether the case is local to Weaverville or elsewhere in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida or Tennessee.

The paper trail on a same-day serve
A Myrtle Beach home builder needed a mechanics lien notice served on a homeowner who had moved to Marion, NC. Payment came in online at 4:22 PM. The defendant was served at 7:45 PM that same evening, three hours and twenty-three minutes later.
What came back with it was a notarized, time-and-date-stamped route map, overnighted as the affidavit of service. Every Same-Day serve closes the same way: a free notarized affidavit, not an extra a client has to ask for.
