MTN Direct... after 18years but NEVER AGAIN!

<p>Dear MTN users...</p> <p>Since 1998 (yes for the past 18years) I have been a loyal MTN customer and mostly got my upgrades from MTN direct due to the convenience of it... NEVER AGAIN!</p> <p> </p> <p>On 10 December 2016 ordered a LG G4 (yes the older model, G5 available now)... MTN Direct say: Yes sir we have in stock.</p> <p> </p> <p>Then they upgrade my contract - I get all the SMS's.</p> <p>Very excited wait for the phone to be delivered... nothing. No update, call nothing. So I call them again, and again... and again (18x)</p> <p> </p> <p>I followed up almost every day until 21 December 2016 - only for for them to tell me after all this:</p> <p>1) Oops - it was never dispatched (due to stocktake or maybe incompetence?)</p> <p>2) The warehouse is now closed for 2016 - I will get it in 2017 !!!</p> <p> </p> <p>-sigh-</p> <p> </p> <p>I cannot tell the public what to do, but beware the bad bad service from this once excellent but now terrible service provider: MTN Direct ********** 667 (do not call this number unless you like bad service...)</p>

Dear

Nompumelelo

REQ: **********

In response to your kind words:

a) Since 22 Dec I have not received response from the MTN DIRECT management nor MTN.

b) I went into a MTN store yesterday, very friendly gentleman tried to help me get a new device (which I already pay for) - sorry sir, you have already been upgraded and system shows device issued - I HAVE NOT received device and asked MTN DIRECT to cancell the sale - which they agreed to do.

c) So now... I call MTN DIRECT, after 45minutes they answer. Eish... sorry sir I cannot reverse sale only supervisor can and he is not answering his phone.

I rest my case... from bad to worse.

(Still) upset customer.

MTN is going down and down and down... Can you please get this sorted so I can write something positive+ ?
