Poor Business practice and dishonest dealing

Was telephonically offered a contract with I smart and accepted, I specifically requested a device with 32gb and a device was delivered on 29 November 2017. I opened the box to find it was a 16gb device and immediately returned the package. Received a call from Ismart asking why the device had been returned and explaining that I was sent the wrong device, Ismart lodged a mislead query. They called back the same day to say my query was rejected and I told them I disagreed and requested a copy of the recording which I was then told would not be done but they will arrange for me to listen to the call. A number of different calls from different agents explaining that I asked for a 32gb device and received a 16gb device, one agent even confirmed that they had both available and will get back to me. Today, 3 weeks later I receive a call saying that my query was accepted as the error was on their side and I will not be charged the cancellation fee. As a reputable business, one would correct the error by supplying the customer the agreed device instead I am offered a 16gb memory card to add to the 16gb device, I told the consultant this was not the same thing and will the monthly rate be dropped since I am getting a lesser device but Ismart is too smart to give anything so instead the contract is not effective when they have made a mistake but if you made a mistake you have breached a verbal contract and must pay cancellation fees.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS DISHONEST COMPANY.

Reviewer Update
For anyone interested in the conclusion, the company could not supply the agreed device. Accepted that they had indicated I would get a 32gb device and their website had advertised a 32gb device which they since corrected, hence their resolution was to forgo the cancellation fees. I still insisted they supply the correct device which they could not and offered to take any other 32gb device which was also not possible. So that is where it ended with Ismart. At least an effort to correct their mistake and supply what they promised, even if it costed them a bit more because it was their error would have been good business. I would still caution other customers from dealing with this company.
