waited for my ordered items for over a week now

I ordered 2 blouses, a dress and a bag from an online store, the other week (July 18th). Payment was to be made thru a G-cash outlet (remote payment system thru Globe, a telecom company). So, I sent off my helper to make the payment thru a payment outlet near our place, but unfortunately they were closed. I told the seller that I would have some delays in sending the payment because the outlets near our place are closed and my helper don't know her way around the city to look for other outlets there. I also explained that I won't be able to do the errand myself, since I have a newborn that I can't just leave in the house, and would need to wait till the weekend so that my sister can babysit. Another option was just to meet her up somewhere close, since she is living just from the next town. She told me I can't postpone the payment because she's already ordered for them from her supplier. And, she can't meet up because she's sick. So, the next day, I asked my helper if she's okay about having to go farther from our place to send the payment, because I really need it done. I don't want to fail from my commitment to buy and pay for the items. Fortunately, she was able to get it done and got back home safely. I, then, told the seller that payment has been sent. To my disappointment, she sent me a text message a few hours after that the items won't be shipped until the following Saturday, which is today, Jul 28th, because the suppliers hasn't shipped the items to her, and she's sick. And, she had to wait for more orders so that they could be shipped at once and she could save on shipping. This just means, that I really didn't have to send her the payment urgently. I was really upset, that I tried all means to get her the money, all because she said she already placed the order that day and can no longer back out from the suppliers. Then, I'd find out that she won't be able to send off the items within the usual 2-3 days from payment. She could have just confirmed that it was ok for me to just send the payment a few days later when its more convenient for me, so I didn't have to risk my helper's safety in the city. I do hope Id get the items today, otherwise, I'll post complaints on her FB page and bug her with my messages. This would have to be my last transaction with her.
