Irate customer - Worst customer service ever!

I upgraded my Cell C contract on December 2nd, and to this date I have not received my device. I've called Cell customer service and then get put through to the delivery department with no answer as to when I'll receive the device. After numerous calls to the courier - Courier It - fighting for answers as to what's going on, they sent out the wrong device. I then had to log a call for the courier to collect the device and after a week they picked it up. So back to Cell, with a couple of calls to find out when I'm actually going to receive the correct device, I get told that the returned device has to go back to the repair centre to ascertain whether everything is in order, baring in mind that the box is still sealed, and once their checks are done they will notify me. Once this notification is received, I have to call Cell to let them know that they can now start issuing a new device which will then take 3-7 business days to be delivered. It's been 20 days without a phone but they made sure to change my profile to the new contract which I cannot use. CellC and Courier It have given me the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Update: on the 23rd I received a call from Cell C during which I was told that this matter would be escalated. Escalated to where and when? Also, the same "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" message was given, but to date nothing has actually been done. I asked if I can cancel and the response was pretty vague and basically NO. So I'm supposed to just sit back and wait If I'm lucky, I'll receive this before the end of January.

So another 3 days have passed without any form of communication from Cell C. How exactly have they escalated my complaint? They most probably have not! The incorrect device which was returned to them was received by them on the 21st of December. If this matter was prioritised as they've said it was, then there should have been progress by now. I'm so mad right now, it's been 28 days waiting for a phone and I'm at the point of cancelling this whole contract and moving away from this company for good. Ugh!!

Okay, so how many times can a matter be escalated before something is actually done to solve said issue? Well, Cell C thinks they can keep saying this until the ***s come home because we need their services. No! I don't need this service and can use any other service provider. This is absolute ****! Nobody has called since they last "prioritised" this issue. It's been 33 days waiting for a device and I'm done with this *********** company.
