And when it does update, it will immediately show the package is in NY or CA, except it's not really there. That just means that USPS or FedEx has a received notification that the package is coming. The package itself is actually on a boat or in the air, if you're lucky.
Then it will go through Customs. My last order showed it was in at the Jamaica, NY post office for NINE DAYS, except it really wasn't, it was waiting on Customs to waive it through. Then tracking updated when it really was at the post office and it continued on it's way. After you go through this a few times, you learn to read the tea leaves (no pun intended). I use several different tracking sites to see what the actual status is, in addition to USPS:
