That's because two of you are wrong in this thread.

Rule 5 (b) (2) (B) Mailing a copy to the last known address of the person served. Service by mail is complete on mailing.

That means, as soon as it hits the mail box at their end, you're considered to have been served. It's written that way because otherwise it would be easy to avoid service by simply refusing delivery of it.
