Sure,
Lego keeps track of parts being used in specific colors with Element IDs (Part
Color Codes). And sometimes update them with new numbers to float currently in-use
parts to the top of their filing system. Kinda like renaming an old Word document
to remind yourself that you're still working on it.
There used to be a naming convention for ID #s, but now (I think, 41XXXXX onwards)
they just go up in numerical order.
So,
Color - Element ID - Chronological Order (1,2,3...)

Yeah that's fair. Unless other buyers mention shipping delays?
In the absence of tracking details or 'delivery attempt was made' post-cards,
you should definitely check your local mail hub once a week. A good amount (about

The problem here is that the seller is not sure if it was courier's fault

For this reason, and if you paid via PayPal, what I would do in your place is
that I send a message to the seller and I assure him that I am sure the package
was not delivered or there were no attempt of delivery for this reason, I explain
this is not my fault and It is the responsibility of seller to reship the package
but I offer to pay half of the costs (20 Euro + cost of reshipping) and explain
to him that you can get a full refund from PayPal anyway if he does not resend
it.
If you paid via bank transfer, you don't have any leverage to get your money
back. So in that case, I would just pay the whole payment but explain to this
seller that it is his responsibility to pay for reshipping the same as if the
package gets lost.
This should not be a serious problem and I hope you two can find a solution in
a friendly manner!

Your logic is irrefutable! (Seriously though)
It happens from time to time, unfortunately. In some cases, it's easier to
