What an Amherstburg process server plans for
Amherstburg absorbed the Anderdon and Malden townships in 1998, so one town now runs from the old downtown around Fort Malden National Historic Site out to farm roads, riverfront lots and the Lake Erie shore. Country addresses can mean a long laneway and no doorbell. A lot number, a description of the house or the vehicle the person drives often saves a wasted trip.
Two hamlets cross municipal lines: McGregor is shared with the Town of Essex, and River Canard with LaSalle. Both sides pay the same rate, so the boundary never moves your price.
Boblo Island is reached by a privately run ferry from the Amherstburg mainland, so island serves depend on crossing times. Call or text before ordering and we will plan the visit. If a riverfront or beach address might be a seasonal home, say so, and we will time the attempts for when someone is likely to be there.

Amherstburg questions
Is there a mileage charge for Amherstburg?
No. Mileage is part of the $160 flat rate, the same as anywhere else in most of Essex County.
Do you serve McGregor and the beach communities?
Yes. McGregor, River Canard, Malden Centre and the Lake Erie beach communities are all covered at the same rate.
Can you serve someone on Boblo Island?
Usually, with some planning. The island is reached by a private ferry, so call or text first and we will confirm the timing before you order.
What if three attempts are not enough?
If the first 3 attempts don't reach the person, we call you with options and a price before any more trips. Nothing extra is charged without your OK. If the person is avoiding service, our time-stamped notes can support a court request for substituted service.
