WIBTAH for asking bro-in-law to mail gift never received

My bro-in-law had my husband and me for Christmas. He lives about 3 hours away from us. I sent him a link to the exact leggings (me) and joggings (husband) we wanted. When the family party rolls around, he shows up having forgotten our gift. No problem, he says he’ll mail them. Five months later and nothing. He even visited his parents last month, who only live 1/2 hour from us. This weekend, we decide to spend our anniversary in a town about 30 minutes from where he lives. My husband calls him telling him where we’re at and asks if we can get our presents. After telling us no twice (jokingly), he asks when we want to pick them up. We tell him we’re about to go on a small hike and invite him to meet up with us there. He tells us he can’t, he’s hanging with friends, when do we want to pick the gifts up? He says he’s flexible, so anytime should work. We say we can go pick them up before we go on our hike. He says, I’m with friends so later would be better. We say we guess we can go when we pick up dinner? Ok, great. We hang up and go on our hike, which is 15 minutes in the opposite direction. At this point, I’m really annoyed that he’s not willing to meet us anywhere—even halfway between his house and our hotel would be great. AITAH if I tell him we’re not coming over after all and he needs to mail us our gifts?

EDIT: After everyone telling me to stop asking, today is the first day we asked. Once. I’m not going to ask again. My question was if AITA if at this point I tell him to mail it.
