Cancelled product, still waiting for Telkom to collect

I ordered a mifi product using Telkom's online service. The consultant who called me to vet my application and explain the product to me guaranteed that this product is indeed a portable/mobile modem and even checked the areas I'd be travelling to to see if I will have connectivity there. The product arrived and it turns out it's a fixed modem that needs to be plugged into a wall socket for power, etc. It was delivered on 30/01/2018. I called in the very same day to cancel this product as it is not what I wanted. I believe I have a 7 day cooling down period after receiving the product. The girl I spoke to when I cancelled was Roxanne, she informed me that there is no ref number for the call. She told me she would arrange collection. A week later another consultant calls me trying to upsell me. I let her know that I will have to take my time to decide on a product suitable for me and I will place that order when I am ready. I asked again that she arrange someone to collect this product, which she said she will do. It's almost the end of Feb and this item has not been collected and I haven't heard from Telkom again. Before this ends in a story where I am charged for a product that I a) don't want and b) am not using, please sort this out. Thanks.

After almost 2 weeks of no response, I tried to call Telkom's online sales line today and was on hold for 20 minutes after selecting the relevant option from the voice prompt. So a) your consultants give the wrong information, b) they don't action accounts appropriately as they should, c) I have provided clear instructions to 2 of your staff members thus far to cancel this product and collect the items (once when I called in myself and a second time when someone called me to upsell me after I already expressed that I want it cancelled, and d) I have now made contact 3 times to get this resolved. If you can afford to drop calls on a sales line, you can clearly afford to lose customers.

I've received an invoice today that is due 26/03 after I have cancelled this product the same day I received it. I went onto the chat service and was assigned to Edman ****edi. He was active on the chat until I told him what the problem is and all of a sudden, I was assigned to someone else. I have a screenshot of this chat. He confirmed that I am able to cancel a product I ordered within 7 days of receiving it. I don't understand why I am being invoiced when I cancelled this product with an agent the very day I received it!!! What putrid service...

After 4 months, still nothing from Telkom. I am still being charged for this product that I cancelled in January, I'm not using it and I don't even have it in my possession any longer as it was returned to Telkom. This is RIDICULOUS!!
