I hope you get your money back. Living in Canada I use an address in Ogdensburg NY, The Corporate Centre.
I haven't really had any issues with shipping there, it saves me money with brokerage fees etc.... and it's only about a 50 minute drive. I hope the vendors here don't stop doing this for the Canadian customers. In some cases I can save shipping as well with Summit and Jeg's but I always try to support vendors here first because I know I am getting the added expertise that comes with knowing these cars.
I hope this works out for you and he gets what's coming to him, I think he set out to screw you over from the get go.
