I think the greatest deterrence for a scammer would be showing up at his house and asking him to sign a contract that he received the sets without issue.
So go ahead and do that then. You have the guy's shipping address. Also, be prepared to haul everything back with you if the guy doesn't come to the door when you knock for his signature, which is the same thing the post office or UPS or Fed-Ex or whoever does if the shipment requires signature on delivery and the recipient isn't home. The difference is, they have a facility in the buyer's area, and run a route in his area on a daily basis, so bringing the packages back the next day to try again isn't as big a deal.
