Online purchase inconvenience

I bought lenovo cell 8gb 256gb 15.6" laptop yesterday online. The item was available and had displayed that there are two items left. I had to checkout the order and processed my payment, to my suprise I later received an email informing me that the item is out of stock. This is very surprising as I went online again but the product is available as it's no longer on sale. I'm asking myself that was this part of your marketing strategy because it's really inconveniencing client, I was not even given an option as the client to choose way forward, the payment was processed for refund. I don't need the refund as I paid the item and it was available at the time of the payment. Please liaise with me about the way forward as I have evidence of them item availability when I purchased it online and my proof of payments. This is a total inconvenience as I purchased the laptop with a need for it now I have to wait for 3 days for my refund and buy it at its original price as it's no longer on sale. Order #***

I hear you but refund is not the solution as I need the item I purchased. What's the way forward, I could have purchased it from another store as it was on sale (Makro) however I opted to buy from you. The refund will also take long to refund in my account. Let's engage on how you can rectify this as refund and apology does not justify your system not updating, as a client I'm entitled to the item I purchased at the amount I purchased it for.

I have tried to contact you via email and telephonically but there seems to be no resolution, the only way you can get through to Game as through here? Is this how you treat your customers, I'm really disappointed on how my complaint is being handled. I have requested for your complaint department contact information and I was told that it's for internal use only. This really amazed me as it seems like you don't care about your customers, how can a complaints department be for internal use. I need my money as the agreed SLA has lapsed, this is delaying my studies as I need to buy another laptop ASAP, you were not supposed to take my money in the 1st place as you did not have the product. I have been patient enough regarding this matter but now I feel really inconvenienced.
