Being served with Dissolution of Marriage Documentation

I live in Florida.

I was served the Dissolusion (Divorce) Papers at my residence. Actually, the process server left them with my brother. I was not home, and actually, did not get the documents for a couple days following that day.

Can I use this to my favor for anything?

Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 1.070 states:

"At the time of personal service of process a copy of the initial pleading shall be delivered to the party upon whom service is made."

I am asking because I am sure the language is in the courts favor. In saying "shall be delivered to the party..." I am assuming that could mean to the residence.

However, should it not be served to my physical self?
