Vodacom lies to customers

I was due for an upgrade at the start of June. I contacted the Upgrades department and then Chose the Huawei P20 Lite. I asked the call operator whether there was stock on hand and she said yes (as i would then rather just go to a shop and upgrade there). So she told me within the next 3-5 days i will get my phone. This was 4 June. That same week the friday i called and asked where is the phone? and was told that they were out of stock. Shocked and suprised by this i asked but why did they lie to me???? I was transferred to numerous people with everybody saying something different.

Any case they said they would get stock in the monday and i will get my phone the next week. Guess what, same story the next week.

So now i called them on the 19th of June and they are still telling me there is no stock, almost 3 weeks after their first lie???

Why lie to your customers? why not tell them sir there is no stock not sure when we are getting stock etc etc. But hey Money talks when you want to make a sale!!!!
