Advice needed, what do I do next?

I have never bought a firearm before without looking at it before hand.
So when we saw two firearms that were what we were looking for (but not local) a phone call to the selling RFD confirmed they were still available and were in good condition. So after a chat with the boss we decided to pay the asking deposit to secure the firearms, and arrangements made to get our certificates sent to have the items added with serial numbers etc. This only took 3 days to be turned around so full payment was then sent via bank transfer 31/1/2019 which the seller sent a text message to say payment received and he would ship our firearms that next Saturday 2/2/2019 to our RFD.
This is where the trouble starts. I phoned to see if shipped no answer so left a message. Waited several days tried again so left another message, he replied saying would ship the next Saturday. Again waited several more days I sent text message did firearms get shipped again no reply so phoned the receiving RFD not had a delivery. So Monday the 11/2/2019 sent him a point of fact email ref when he was paid etc etc. Got a 4 word reply "I will try Wednesday" rang this morning 14/2/2019 again no reply so left another message. Just spoken to our RFD nothing arrived.
What do we do next....??????? call the police as our property is being withheld. ask for our money back. Help
I will not say who the RFD is even if you send a PM sorry.
