This UPS situation

 The curiosity about this is killing me.  One of the packages will hopefully be delivered today, so maybe that will shed a little light on things.  

So far:  2 orders, 3 items in each (1 SM, 2 Pocket Box bags), and a variety of tracking numbers depending on where I look.  For order #1, on my account, the Breyer page lists one tracking number, the shipping email lists two numbers.  For order #2, on Daniel's account, Breyer lists one number, the shipping email lists three.  Then, the UPS MyChoice account page lists 4 numbers - which are the same as the ones from Breyer, minus one.  And right now, one package from #1 is out for delivery, two (one from each order) are in Earth City and will be here tomorrow, and the fourth, from #1, is still "ready for UPS" aka still in the warehouse.  

Which kind of sounds like Order #2 is really one package (assuming that "ready" package was a phantom number), and #1 is in two packages.  Which means they split things, thus negating my plan for the Pocket Boxes to bump things up to a bigger box. And also that they probably lost money on that $5.95 shipping charge, after considering the cost of both packages and the shipping cost for each.
