Bad Business Ethics

<p>Just a word of warning, I purchased a product from these guys and have send them proof of payment on Thursday night and have requested ABSA to also send them proof of payment by mail. On Saturday when I wanted to send somebody to collect, I was informed that the money wasn't in their account yet so they can't collect. On Sunday I was informed it has now reflected and on Tuesday I was told that they have actually sold my purchase to somebody else on Saturday afternoon already. If they knew there was a payment made for an item, why did they not put a sold sign on the item or taken it from the floor awaiting the confirmation. Is that how business gets conducted in Cape Town as that is not how it is done in Gauteng and other places where I traveled internationally. I don't want a refund I want a shelve as a gift to my friend in Cape Town.</p>
