Don't offer what they promise "ESPECIALLY ON BLACK FRIDAY"

I phoned the call centre on Thursday 26th November to confirm that I could purchase the "Relax set Novara resin wicker-look grey" patio set that they had advertised on their Black Friday special. I explained to the lady at the call centre that I wanted to buy 2 of them and have them delivered to our holiday house in the Eastern Cape. They were to be my 82 year-old mother's Xmas present. She said everything was fine, and that I could order online and pay the delivery costs. I woke up on Black Friday and placed my online order at 06h45 in the morning. The website showed they had 45 in stock for delivery from the Little Falls branch. I received confirmation of the order and the money was deducted off my credit card. I now have been told that the stock didn't arrive and that all order's for this item have been cancelled, and that I would receive a credit for my purchase. That was on Sunday 29th November. To-date I still don't have a credit, and when I phone the helpdesk this morning, 1st December, the lady said she would check and come back to me - I'm still waiting. Whoever published the Black Friday special without checking the supply of these items should get fired with immediate effect. As this is the first time I have every bought anything from Leroy Merlin, it has been a very inconvenient and irritating experience for me and has put a very bitter taste in my mouth when dealing with Leroy Merlin in the future. I'll stick to Builders Warehouse who have never let me down to-date.

Hello Lee-anne, we are very sorry about this. You are right, we have made many errors through miscommunication and the processes. We are doing our best to fix the situation and recover better. It will take some time for our customers to see the improvements as we try to be people/relationship focus. We are very very sorry once again. 

Please share your order number with us so that we can follow through with the teams on your refund? #va

By the way, you are legally obliged to delivery my patio sets. You took my order, gave me an order number and took my money. So now I want to know when I can expect delivery. I don't care if it takes a month, but you are legally obliged to deliver my product.
