If a defendant waives service, within how many days must the defendant return the waiver?

Explanation:
When a defendant is asked to waive service under Rule 4(d), the waiver must be returned within 30 days after the request was sent. If the defendant is outside the United States, the period is extended to 60 days. This setup encourages waivers by giving defendants extra time to respond while avoiding the costs of formal service. If the waiver isn’t returned, the plaintiff may proceed with formal service and may recover the costs of service from the defendant.
