Helmet got lost in the mail

So back in May i bought a new smith maze from NS member 13Stripes https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/members/profile/member_id/95523/ and it never came so it seems it got lost somewhere on the way. I am in no way questioning whether he sent it or not as u can look at his feedback and its perfect. And I can't get my money back from paypall because I sent the money as a gift (no fee for him, and in return he sent the helmet as a gift so no duty for me, I live in Canada) Not a huge deal since it only cost me $40 but it still kinda sucks and i'm 99.2% sure there's probably nothing I can do but i'm just wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else, and is there any way i could find out where it went?
