Mike, I'd stay in close contact with him. You can give him a little breathing space (bc you will need his cooperation), but definitely let him know that you're concerned. Its a difficult transaction with the shipping, so just keep up the faith.

Emphasize that you will need to have a tracking number just to keep an eye on the package's whereabouts.

But keep your cool and try not to get (too) upset or ansy. I've had orders that seemed to take forever in getting to me, but with a little follow through and patience, most of those situations worked out in the end.
