No stock even though...

On 27 November I purchased a number of items from takealot most of which was delivered. The issue is on one item in particular, an angle grinder. I purchased it at a special price and when I did the website showed that they had stock. <br> <br> After following up a couple of times on the non-delivery of the item I finally received an email on 18 Dec stating that they no longer have stock of the item, even though the item is still listed on the site. <br> <br> I was told that I could reorder the item on the website and that they will apply a discount to keep the price the same as what I paid initially, but that I had to wait another month for shipment and I can yet again be told that no stock is available. <br> <br> Best case scenario: it takes them 2+ months to get me the item I purchased<br> Worst case scenario: they wasted my time for 2+ plus months<br> <br> PS When asked how there can't be stock when the site stated there was I was told that other users may have depleted the stock when I was checking out. To that I say that the software checkout functionality should be able to handle stock during checkout.<br> <br> PPS Item is still available for purchase on there website. Wonder how many other products have this issue.
