Depending on how long he was in transit for and the temps, he may have slept most of the time. If he was packed well he won't necessarily be dehydrated or hungry. Have his cage all set up so you don't have to mess with it. Put him in it, let him warm up (unless it is close to the end of the day), and then mist the foliage heavily so he can drink if he wants. Don't force him as it will just stress him. If you get him at the end of the day I'd mist the foliage to raise the general humidity but not chill him, leave the lights off and let him sleep through to the next morning. Many chams don't eat much for the first few days so don't be worried. As long as he roams around exploring after basking, has lots of cover for security, correct humidity, he'll settle in. Don't disturb him too much (I know its hard not to keep peeking!). Provide the right temp/humidity, access to water, and one or two feeders in a feeding container after a day or so and he should settle in. You might ask the seller when he last ate.
