What other country? Your stuff might be sitting in a custom's office waiting to be cleared (have the very expensive import duties paid). Some one needs to go to Customs and find out if it is there.

You should go check customs.

They need to be cleared and taxes must be paid.

You're not just gonna pay them and get it shipped like Amazon.

If it's not shipped and scam contact Alibaba support for that.

They might help.

You should have google "Alibaba" before sending cold hard cash to them. I remember I google it once and there was tons and tons of complaints about scams and buyers losing money.

An expensive lesson. Never, ever send money to ANYONE. Always, always do business with a credit card.

Nothing wrong with Alibaba, its where most businesses in China sell to other businesses.

But you got to pay in a proper way, use Alipay. Even in the US, it would be silly to pay a business with western union.

the country I am shipping to is the Emirates. he is going to ask the custom thank you for that reminder. As for other payment methods, you are all right, I shouldn't have paid that way but I did not have a good experience on that, but now sure I am

thanks again to all of you
