I think what you need to do is wait until you are sure you have a problem. Shipping between Canada and the US can take up to three weeks, or more!

He is probably waiting for your gear to arrive so he can make sure he won't get ripped off.
I had three guys do this to me, and one was at least honest enough to admit that that was what he was doing.
I did it to one guy because I just had a feeling......his end never did show up.
Relax, I am sure that when your end arrives, he will ship.

I would also like to know how this deal worked out. If you were ripped off you really need to post the call sign of the guy in Ontario so others do not get burnt by him.
If you got burnt I hope this does not make you think all Canadians are crooks. I have sold and bought ham items from people in USA and had no problems with the transactions.
Also it would be nice to know the call sign as we have an on air swap shop up here, which is also posted on the net. People who rip off others are black listed.
I hope it all worked out well for you
