since only one of the phone numbers out of the 3 show up with a tracking number is it safe to assume that all 3 iPhones are being shipped together?

Yeah, it's Anchorage. I live in Anchorage and it sucks because packages come through here, then down to the lower 48, then back up to me. 🙄

No, Apple iPhone pre-orders ship individually, there is not grouping of items within an order. They come from different factory lines and there is no attempt to consolidate. The additional logistics of combining orders are just not worth it.
They may come from different lines and even different cities!

Don't they ship it to your local UPS/Fedex 1 or 2 days early, and deliver on the launch day.
Hopefull its UPS from China to US. Then whatever state they land to Texas it will be fedex because UPS delivers late in the afternoon and I'll be at work already while fedex usually delivers early in the afternoon lunch time!

Ah, in your case it will be UPS all the way to your door since it started with UPS, it will be delivered by UPS. Sorry!

Looks like Apple only charged me for Apple Care...no charge for my iPhone yet. Guess I will have to accept the fact I won't have an iPhone 5 on launch day.

Does anyone know if they started making cases available for the iPhone 5 yet? I see a lot "Coming Soon" as in Sept 29th or later😱

I know Amazon and Ebay have cases listed that should be able to hold you over until the Big Hitters put their product out on the market.
Personally, I'm leaning towards going naked.

Looks like your phone was stolen by one of the workers shipping them out. 😉 😛
I would hope for a system glitch.
The only logical reason I can think of is during "prepare for shipment", they damage it, or find out it is the wrong color, wrong GB, so they have to re-order it again.
