No after sales service

What an utterly disappointment the experience at Vodacom Greenstone was, the after sales service received was atrocious. I handed in my iPhone 6s in for display repairs on the 27 April 2016, I was told that they are offline and that they will book my phone in as soon as they are online. The person helping me at the time said I can call on Friday for a job number, being the patient and understanding person I am I decided to only call for the job number on Tuesday after the long weekend. What a shock when I called, no phone was booked for repairs.... they said they will book it immediately, this only happened late afternoon. So being patient and understanding I let it go. Friday the 7th of May I receive a sms telling me that my phone is in transit and that it can be collected soon. Sa****ay the 8th I went to Vodacom Greenstone to find out if my phone is there, no phone received yet but I was given the electronic receipt with the job number and info on what the phone was booked for only to see that my phone was booked in with external damage... ***!!! So the consultant said its just a mistake, he said my phone will be there bu Wednesday, Wednesday came and gone and no call from them. So today the 13th of May I called the store to find out if my phone is there, eventually it was so being a working individual myself I asked till what time are they open... I was given the reply to never ask that question on a Friday ever again. WOW some customer service, cant complain about it! BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY!!!!! So off I went to collect my phone, upon receiving it I checked to see if the purple and yellow mark was repaired (Only shows in a black background when the display is on and not when it is locked), **********ly disappointed to find that the display is still EXACTLY the same. I was then told to take the phone to Vodaworld myself as they will only send the phone back again unpaired. Now I am not at all understanding anymore and no patience is left, I could not believe my ears what I was hearing. Why did the technician or someone not call me and tell me they are failing to find the fault and if I could explain where and how it happens exactly. I am out of patience. Kindly replace my iPhone with the exact same model and storage if it cannot be repaired or if you are too lazy to tend to a customer repair complaint. Should this not happen within 5 working days you can expect to hear from my lawyer and you may cancel the contract. Disgusted with Vodacoms service after being convinced to move over from MTN.

Reviewer Update
So it seems that it is not only Vodacom Greenstone having bad service but the brand itself. I was sent an sms on Sa****ay the 14th of May 2016 saying that a consultant will be in touch with me soon. Guess what, it is Tuesday the 17th of May and still no consultant have contacted me. I will never again be caught out by Vodacom telling me that they have the best service.
