Default 3 days? WHAT, how about 10 days?

Okay guys try this one on. I bought 2 different guns last week and then went out of state to another state's shoot. When I returned yesterday I found out that there was an attempted unsuccessful delivery on one gun. After repeated attempts to get a hold of the FFL, who has overtime become a friend, I get a text from him that he is in the hospital with respiratory complication due to the dreaded Covid. Additionally, the wife has it too and can't even get out of bed to sign for either of these guns. He has no idea when he's getting out of the hospital and the sellers don't just want to leave this open ended. I can't say that I blame them. The first gun is not too expensive, but todays gun is quite pricey and there's an remote chance, because it's so rare, it could be a forgery, so I need to inspect it. Talk about complicated. Of course both of these guns are already paid for.

Based on the covid part I'd ask the seller/s to have the guns sent to another FFL and with the issue involved I'd expect them to be a might reasonable about any additional freight cost incurred .
