Yes that's very suspicious, unless something happened in the buyer's world over the past few days.
I'd notify the DMV, and if you've also not received payment, do not allow the shipper to onload.

In my state, a copy of the title is just a piece of paper. Only the original is valid. Knowing a VIN doesn't do a heck of a lot of good either. But hope you don't have troubles from the guy.
