What does Electronix Shipping Info Received mean? Tracking a package?

I ordered an iPhone case from www.wholesalefactoryshop.com and they said that on 01/05/13 they received the electronic shipping info when I placed the order on 01/01/13. Anyway that's all it said on USPS when I track the package. They also sent me an email saying that is all it will say until "close to delivery day" or something. What does this mean? Scam maybe? It paid immediately but i don't know what this means that it won't update until i get the package.

It means that USPS was notified that there's a package to be shipped. They don't track every movement of the package. I would expect you will receive it in 3-5 working days.
