I tried you code - without new FormData(form), that I have not, and it's works perfectly.
I think you may have a JavaScript error, that breaks the flow - so run it with some kind of client side debugger to see...

so on your end you have ran alert('sent'); script!

Yes - but remember! I have no FormData so I run with occasional data as formData...
