Had this problem before as well.  The tracking only updates after 2 weeks time.

You don't get any information after that point unless you have paid extra for full tracking.

Not sure if I paid full tracking before or not. But there's several times the tracking doesn't update then after a week or 2 then only it updates and few days later reach. There's also time when the tracking update time to time without the need to wait for a week or two. Don't really know the reason behind it though. Maybe I paid for full tracking without knowing or wtv reason it might be.

I see this with shipping to Australia, too.  A package will arrive at a depot smoewhere in the US, then that's it - no more updates for a couple of weeks untli the package suddenly arrives at home.
