2 months and still waiting for my phone

My contract expired in December 2017. I waited patiently for the right deal at Vodacom as I was interested in the new Sony. In March, I found the deal that I wanted, which included two Sony phones and a PS4. I went to the Vodashop in The Grove (Pretoria) and signed the documentation. Almost 2 months later and I am still waiting for my items...... According to the consultant, the one phone and PS4 is at the shop, but they cannot hand those over without the other phone, which is on back order. I subsequently agreed to take a new deal with only the one phone and PS4 and went to the shop to redo the paperwork. When I got there the consultant indicated that the PS4's are now on back order and that he cannot give me the PS4 and phone that are already there since they have a different order number. He could not give any indication of when the phone/PS4 will be available. What really gets me is the fact that Vodacom knows that these items are out of stock, yet they are advertised in their booklets every month. I am at the point of cancelling my contract and buying the PS4 and phone cash. Enough is enough. The consultant is trying his best, but his hands are tied. A response from head office would be appreciated.

Good day. Thank you for the quick response. I had a look at your email. All you do is refer me back to the shop in The Grove. I've phoned them numerous times already (I even have the sales persons cell phone number) and stood in long queues at the shop only to get the same answer every time - "Sorry, but we have no idea when stock will be available". This is unacceptable. I posted this trying to get an actual answer out of vodacom. Now all you tell me is to contact the shop again where I will probably get exactly the same answer as the previous 20 times. Somebody at vodacom must know something, my goodness...
