This is a common situation which you may encounter if your position requires some field work. Show that you can take initiative, solve the problem on your own, and that you are cognizant of how this piece of the project affects the overall schedule.

"If for some reason we can't track the shipment, I would call the supplier to confirm that they shipped the racking. If they shipped it on time, then there really isn't anything we can do to make it arrive more quickly. Then, I would call the project manager and let him know the situation and that the overall project schedule might be delayed. I would ask him if there are other stages of the installation that we could move around in order to keep the project moving, even if this stage is delayed."
