Upgrade Reversal NIghtmare

<p>I placed my upgrade online on 5 May 2017<br />On Monday 8 May, I received the package from RAM , but the package only contained the sim card and no device . On Tuesday 9 May, RAM collected the parcel from me to send back to Vodacom. The parcel arrived at the warehouse on Friday 12 May.</p> <p>I have phoned in and I was told that once the parcel arrives at the warehouse, the reversal will be done and it will take a day to cancel and I can do my upgrade again.<br />The parcel arrived at the warehouse on Friday 12 May.</p> <p>I would just like to know when the reversal will be done ? Ever since, I've been phoning an mailing, phoning and mailing, everyday. The consultants keep telling me it will take a day or two. </p> <p>Then I have a consultant telling me it will be sorted out this weekend (which was 20 & 21 May's weekend) But still, nothing is being done. </p> <p>I mean, I was due for an upgrade on the 29th of April, it's 23 May and I still have no device. </p> <p>Yes, apprantly there have been an online issue on the 5th,6th and 7th regarding online orders where customers only received sims. But what I don't get is that Vodacom is taking their time and not really assisting by telling me it's going to take a day or 2. It's been 10 days already. </p> <p>Last year I had an issue with my bank and I couldnt pay that month's installment, but I rectified it immediatly and went in store to pay. Due to me not paying, Vodacom blocked my lines in a heartbeat! Instanty they blocked my line. But it's taking them forever to sort our their mistake , their error. </p> <p>I understand we are not perfect, that there's always errors, human and system....but really, if someone can just tell me what's happening instead of telling me it's going to take a day or 2. </p> <p>I have a referance number : 1- ********** ********** </p> <p> </p> <p>I think you guys can compensate me and give me a free Samsung Galaxy S8 or give it to me for the current plan price I'm paying now - R369</p> <p>I never even wanted the S8 because it's out of my price range. I wanted the Galaxy A5 2017</p>

Good day , I would just like to follow up .

I did receive a phone call yesterday from someone at Vodacom but that person had no clue of what the problem was. He said that he could see I did my upgrade online on the 5th and asked me if I have received my device. I was confused by his question because my main reason for making contact with you guys was about not receiving a device AND the reversal taking so much time .

I'm still in the dark and it seems no one has any answers.

Please Vodacom, just reverse my upgrade in order for me to do my upgrade again . And this time, please include the device (new phone) in the package.

Thank you

Hi there Vodacom

So nothing was being done. I was in contact with the vadmin department last week Thursday where I was phoned and told that my reversal will be done by Friday 26 May and no later than Monday 29 May. Yep, it's still Monday but I get the feeling it was yet another broken promise.

Please please tell me when exactly this will be sorted out.

I hope Vodacom compenstates me big time and give me my device for free.
