If this was shipped through USPS, you could probably try to file something with them. it becomes federal with them. they have armed postmasters/investigators that handle these types of things.


I would even consider going so far as to let them know a firearm was shipped to your address when you requested it be shipped to a dealer. you risk involvement that could get the parts taken away though

I would call his local police. they might be more willing to help.

I had a guy try to screw me over when I was a kid. I wanted a R/C truck, found one for sale on a R/C forum. sent the money order, he never sent anything. his local police not only got me the truck, they got me the money as well and he got jail time.
