SOunds like stress. I think they tell you that is normal for shipping livestock. You should click on the acclimation button at the left on this page and follow the instructions. If he dies after you acclimate him, then send him back.
I never ordered any fish from this site, but I just place my first order for inverts yesterday and will acclimate them according to the instructions. They still haven't shipped yet, though. :-(
Good luck

acclimate him in a dark area. the lack of light helps to calm them down some.
