Pricing FAQ

Clear answers before you request service.

HONE pricing is built around transparent attempts, professional reporting, and clear communication. These quick answers are designed to reduce hesitation and help you plan service with confidence.

What do service levels actually mean?

Service levels reflect the expected timeframe for the first service attempt only; they do not guarantee completion. Timeframes are estimates and can change based on location, workload, weather, safety, or other circumstances.

How many attempts are included?

Base service includes up to three attempts at one verified address unless otherwise noted. Additional attempts require client approval and are quoted before proceeding unless a price has already been established.

Do I pay if service isn’t completed?

Payment remains due for the included attempts and work performed, even if service is not completed. HONE provides a Non-Service Report documenting the attempts made.

Do you offer rush service?

Yes. Priority, Rush, and Same-Day service may be available based on location, intake time, and availability.

What is your billing policy?

Payment is required before service unless other arrangements have been approved. Approved law firms and repeat commercial clients may qualify for invoicing. Custom quotes are available for unusual assignments.

Pricing notes and additional fees?

Mileage outside the normal service area may incur additional charges. Additional addresses and defendants are billed separately.
