That wasn't the case for my last order from TI. I ordered there EZ430 launchpad kits and according to the shipping label it came from a TI office in malaysia. I was originally going to go through Digikey but they wanted 5x ($20 instead of $4) the price.

You purchased them from TI. I was referring to their samples.

All the stuff I've purchased from TI has indeed been shipped directly from TI itself and not through Digikey.

If I remember right, last time I got samples from TI they shipped from them and not from digikey. Its been a little bit.

Location might play in to it some, I live about 15 min away from their headquarters.

That is entirely possible, but with over 20+ sample shipments over a year while living in Phoenix I only received samples shipped from Digikeys facilities.
