I don’t know how often disguises and trickery happens in real life, but some people will actively avoid being served so they can avoid court battles they don’t want to fight.

The core reason that many court documents have to be hand delivered is to ensure fairness, it wouldn’t be fair to you if you lost a legal case because the notification got lost in the mail. But like I said, some people will attempt to game the system and avoid notification entirely.
