Shocking customer service at Leroy Merlin

I ordered 2 x 1 000 litre JoJo water tanks from Leroy Merlin online, after I made sure that they had the colour I wanted (wintergrass) in stock at the Fourways branch. They said delivery would take place about a week later, on 16 February. I phoned on 17 February to find out why no delivery had taken place, only to be told that they did not have stock of the colour I wanted. They offered to deliver me green tanks, which is the last thing I wanted. Pathetic customer service, nobody informed me at any time that they did not have stock or that the delivery would not take place on the date indicated on the online tracking. This is over and above the shocking service that I experienced at the Fourways branch, where a salesman left me to attend to another customer and just never returned. I left a trolley full of plumbing accessories to go and buy at Builders, where I always get good service. This is a company that will never see me again.

Please kindly accept my apology on behalf of the company in regards to the recent experience with us. Kindly note that this shall be escalated to the Fourways store leader to further investigate on the behavior of some of the staff, and I will further follow up on your partial order.

Reviewer Update
It is now another week later and, although I have received one of the two tanks, the last one remains missing in action. This was a project that I wanted to finish while we still had good rains but it seems it may be too late for that. I am not a happy customer.
