Upgrades then doesnt deliver

I do my over the phone upgrade on the 29/11/2023 - i select phone and samsung watch. i stress to the agent that I will need delivery before office closes on the 8th Dec. Im told no problem you will have it well before then. I called on the 1st for my tracking number - im told it will be sent. I called again today, got sent to 4 different people to get told that they haven't sent my order yet because they no longer have samsung watches!!! no call made to me to explain - no solution offered. they just leave you high and dry. Oh but they are willing to assist me in just cancelling the order altogether (their offer and solution to their problem) I have been a Cell C contract customer for 23 years and this is how they treat their customers on an expensive upgrade?!? i called vodacom they have my phone and watch in stock and are happy to import my same number... so now i just need to see how to cancel my contract with Cell C and then import to vodacom. ... Cell C i have three contracts with you, i will be cancelling the next one in March when due and the other as soon as its due too. Shoddy Service all around!

you guys could have resolved from the 29th (date of order) till today when i called in. instead Cell C decided to just do nothing till I call in and then complain. I would suggest some contact me with a resolution very fast as in today, if you want to retain your customer

and i dont think im being unreasonable when i was pushed around to a number of agents today. and the end result and solution was to just cancel my order. this is not how any customer should be treated. and now you expect me to wait another 24 to 48 working hours when i am set to go out of province very shortly and possibly without my upgrade because Cell C cant get their act together? yet i call the store and they have watches?!? then send my phone to my closest store so i can fetch with my watch and handset.
