I am not aware of any states that have restrictions upon when a person may be served with a subpoena. As long as you're within the jurisdiction of the court in which you are requested to appear, they can basically serve you any time, day or night.
That being said, the people who serve subpoenas, officers of the court, are people too, and they have lives, and I'm sure they don't like working after normal business hours either. But that doesn't mean that if they have to, they won't serve you at 2:43AM.

The server usually works from 9:00 AM until 9:00 PM Monday through Friday unless there are special circumstances surrounding it.
They have to follow the consumer laws of contact.
A WARRENT can be served 24/7- 365 but that is legal. Subpoenas are a civil action, again there can be circumstances that warrant a later or earlier action. Just as they can be mailed. Where a warrant can not be.

Any time they can. Especially since most people know that they are going to be served and are doing their best to avoid it.

If they were serving me, preferably after 10am, I'm not fully awake until after then. LOL
Legally though, I think they serve it during business hours, which would usually mean sometime between 8am and 5pm.

Are you kidding? Anytime, but the best time is when the person is sleeping. Like 5 am.

I believe if anyone knocks on your door unsolicited you're able to press charges on them for disturbing the peace. But you don't get a lot of sympathy from most judges if you were dodging a subpena.
