so assuming my phone gets to Louisville at 1:10AM EDT via UPS6061 (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS6061), would they drive my phone to my local hub (Northern VA, 8.5 hour drive) or would they get it on an overnight flight and fly it then run it over to the local hub? i'm thinking the latter...

The closest regional UPS hub to NOVA is Philadelphia (KPHL). I would think they would send packages there, then possibly truck them from there.
 
Wow, where did you hear that?
I live in an apartment on an active intersection, so there are a lot of cars going back and forth, I dont't think someone will steal mine unnoticable.

It's true, and people steal stuff all the time in broad daylight with lots of people around. A couple of guys did a smash & grab on my vehicle in a Barnes & Noble parking lot during the day and took my car stereo. Even in busy areas, bystanders aren't paying attention to someone who casually walks up to a porch and walks off with a small package under their arm.

Also, even though you've pre signed, the drivers have discretion as to whether to leave the package or leave a door tag saying that you need to pick it up, or they'll try to deliver tomorrow. I was at home for an iPad launch delivery, and I left my pre signed form on the front door in case I didn't hear the doorbell, was in the restroom, etc. I saw the FedEx driver get out with my package, see my signature form on the front door, turn around and go back to his truck with my package. I went out to him, and he said that he wouldn't leave iPads on a porch even with a signature because the risk of theft was too great, and he was getting ready to leave a door tag when I came out to meet him. Whew! So glad that I caught him and didn't spend the day at home for nothing.
 
I am in the same boat! I have preorder 2 phones each launch for the last six years shortly after preorder (and by shortly I mean minutes) 8 have a rose gold and the regular matte black 7 plus both ordered around 12:15-12:30! My shipping dates quoted were 27-29 and 30-4. I haven't seen any movement yet and if history repeats we should see our phones when quoted or about 3-4 days before the quoted time! Hopefully we will see them late next week or early the following! I hope this helps!

You just crushed my dreams §-§
 
The case I ordered off Amazon (a Spigen skin) will be delivered today and then my 7 Plus will be delivered tomorrow. Can't freakin wait. I know I won't get any work done tomorrow lol.

True. Wish I could leave work early

I just looked at scheduled departures from Louisville, and I didn't see any UPS flights to Dulles scheduled. Thought that's what they usually do, but I guess I'm misremembering.

UPS2196 to Philadelphia is scheduled to depart Louisville at 5:20 today, so hopefully it's on that if that's the route it's supposed to take!
