That is crazy man, I had the same issue with Alibaba.com their wholesale arm.....It's a lottery, luckily with all the companies i've used on AE they've all been pretty good

Its annoying as hell as its so obviously a scam and even a cursory glance at their 'evidence' would show it to be so.  The tracking number they provided claims I ordered on the 14 Aug, even that alone should ring alarm bells.  AE claim that I put Cambridgeshire as the city and because this package was delivered in Cambridge thats good enough for them.  Geography is obviously not taught in Shanghai

The scam is that you order, if you they have it in stock - you usually get your goods.  If not, they take your money anyway, give you a tracking number of a parcel that has been delivered previously and basically rely on AE to back them up.
