False Advertising

I've ordered two fans from Makro on the 27th of November, the order was confirmed with a scheduled delivery of the 2nd of December. on the 4th of December I followed up with Makro since they failed to deliver or communicate their reason for failing to deliver.

The order was suddenly rejected siting: supplier out of stock. Why did Makro advertise this if they didn't have stock, why did they confirm my order, receive payment and schedule a delivery when there was no stock? why are they only cancelling my order upon follow up. I have lost time waiting for this order, prices have gone up elsewhere where i could've bought the fans had they advised that they did not have stock at order stage. It was black Friday and I would've gotten the fan special elsewhere, but i bought from Makro as I though Makro was reputable.

I do not want a refund, as I will no longer be able to get the fans at a special elsewhere since my money was tied up at Makro, I want the order fulfilled , I want my fans

The service received for this order is atrocious, I will never buy anything from Makro again.

I'm not happy with this response, it's really not helpful. It feels like an automatedresponse. Why was my order confirmed in the first place, why did you take payment for the fans, why did it take you a week and me following up to realise that you were out of stock.

What am I supposed to do now? Prices have gone up, my money is not yet refunded. It was easy to take payment immediately, yet I must wait for 10 days to get my money back, for a cancelation that I didn't initiate?

Can you not order from a different supplier as this issue was cause by makro not ensuring that the supplier has enough stock before accepting orders? You can not pass the blame to the supplier, I bought the fans from makro, how you fulfill the order is not my problem, as long as the order is fulfilled, I am highly disappointed and disorganized.
