How did you as it to be shipped? from where? if it thru any courier like fedex or aramex or Dhl they will give you tracking no and you can check in their site. once it has happened to me when i bought one item from Hongkong thru their speed post. the seller gimme my tracking no and i can track it till qatar with this add: http://www.hongkongpost.com/speedpost/eng/track/outward.htm, after that there was no news: then i found that Qpost is handling it from there thru their ems service to track it i used this site:
http://www.imolink.net/qpost/ttchmail/tracktrace.htm
the result was the item had reached Qatar and i waited for a week more and no contact from any one, finally i had to go in search of it to Qpost off near airport and get the status that it is held by customs, Qpost didn't even bother to let me know about it till i go there and ask that i am waiting a courier, then went to customs to clear it. So if it is thru Qpost go and check with them, they are not going to inform you and all, but you need tracking number from the shipper for it.
