On July 9, I received a PM from user brittle expressing interest in some of the Infinity models that I had listed. He had noted he had a number of X-wing models available for trade. After discussing the specifics of the trade, being the lower ranked trader, I shipped the next day by Canada Post and provided a tracking number. Brittle notified me on July 18 that the package had not arrived, which was confirmed by the tracking. The package was noted as Delivered on July 25. On this date, I asked for a confirmation from the user for the receipt of the models. He had not logged in or read my message for a number of days, so I sent another message on July 30 asking when my models might be sent. He responded with "should be out between now and sat" the next day. On Sunday, Aug 4, I had not received a confirmation that the items had shipped, so I sent another note asking for a tracking number.
Today, I messaged MagickalMemories to ask for advice about the situation, and he encouraged me to open this BTR.

It looks like it left Chicago on the 14, and the delivery time my PO said was up to 10 business days from the 11th.
So could be next week if it doesn't come tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in.

I haven't taken any action aside from contacting MagickalMemories for advice. I'm not sure what recourse is the best 'next step' in this situation.
