Flawed service has been found sufficient where a defendant had actual notice of the suit before entry of judgment, the appeals court said.

A company whose president went to great lengths to avoid process servers can’t vacate a default judgment that came with a $27.5 million damages award, a New Jersey appeals court has ruled.
Defendant Goldstar Performance Products of East Hanover had sufficient notice of the suit, even though its president, Steven Hankin, refused to open the door during nine visits to his home by a process server, the appeals court said.
