Cell C Direct - we don't do our jobs and lie to our customers

So I upgraded telephonically with a very nice gentleman at Cell C direct. I upgrade to the S9 Plus, unlimited contract. He informs me that the phone will be delivered by 31 May 2018 at the latest. He tells me they have stock, and after I offer to collect from a store, he says if I go to a store they will charge me another fee. On the 31st I follow up with the call centre - the order has not even been placed from their warehouse. They inform me that they have put it through and I will receive the phone on the 1st of June. I follow up again today - they confirm that the order has not gone to the warehouse yet and the phone will not be delivered. So I am taking out a premium contract for a premium phone and Cell C does not care - not doing their jobs and lying to their clients when they get caught out. Terrible service, do not care at all about customer service.

Reviewer Update
Following my complaint I received an email from MAROPENG MOTANA from Cell C, saying they were unable to contact me on my (Cell C) number. During that time I had received other calls and had no missed calls or voicemails on my phone. I responded with my available times (the whole of Monday morning) and my number again. I received no calls or correspondence. I followed up with them myself at 12:00, to be informed that my upgrade had been cancelled. They have no idea why and they are trying to reload it on their system. Apparently someone will phone me by 17:00 with the details, but, again, the phone will not be delivered today. Always excuses, nothing gets done and the client must suffer.
