Trying to upgrade my cellphone contract.

I have been wanting to get an upgrade on my phone contract from Vodacom for the past 7 days. I went last week Friday to the nearest Vodacom shop where I stay to be told the phone I want they out of stock. So went to the next Vodacom shop to be told they are offline. I filled in all the paperwork and they said they will contact me as soon as they back online. I am still waiting. I went back to the store three times during the weekend to be told they still offline. So I decided to do the upgrade online with the my vodacom site. Got a message said they are processing it. Monday came no one phoned for confirmation. Tuesday I phoned they sent another email to the department for confirmation. Heard nothing. Thursday came I phoned again. Was told they still processing it and I will get a confirmation. Still waiting. Phoned yesterday to be told they still processing. REALLY! I was told to get an upgrade on my phone would take 24 hours for confirmation. Its over 8 days and I am still waiting for confirmation. What is going on?

Thank you for the reply. I went to Vodacom Bedford Center Johannesburg on Friday and the consultant cancelled the online order. They said it will take 24 hours to process and soon as it reflects on the system, they will call me to come and fetch the phone they booked for me. Friday afternoon they phoned and Saturday I went to the shop and received my phone. I am very happy with the service I received from that branch but the online upgrade very slow and poor service.
