How long can orchids survive in transport?

I strongly echo what Orchid Whisperer said. Can you receive deliveries at work? Carriers know which are business addresses, so they don't try to deliver to a business during off hours.

You can request to receive UPS delivery by picking it up at a UPS office. You can request to pick up US mail at the post office instead of having them deliver it at your home. If you do this, go to your post office and meet the staff so they know who you are. Explain what you want and ask them how to do it.
