Dear javaking66:
Greetings. In North Carolina the summons and complaint must be served by certified mail or Sheriff. You may also serve by a delivery service, so yes. There is also a statute that allows for service by publication and service outside the state of North Carolina. Thank you.

Dear javaking66:
Greetings. FedEX or UPS would be valid proof of service, but not “via mail.” I understand that you really want to get this done, but be careful of doing the publication consecutively with the other attempts at service. Best of luck.

Is sending summons via FedEx or UPS considered valid proof of service via mail. Or the summons have to be served via USPS if pursuing the Service by Mail route?
