Tesco refund still not received - advice please

Hi, I need some advice on how to word my complaint to Tesco's please!

I ordered my weekly shopping online from Tesco on 24th April, for delivery on 25th April. We were out for the delivery, so I reorganised the delivery for the 26th April. I then checked my bank balance and saw they had debited my account twice. I don't have a problem with this although I was not informed until after the event and it clearly states on their website that they will re-deliver subject to another delivery charge, not that they will debit my account twice.

I called them on 27th April, was told yes they had taken the money twice and they would refund me the same day, back in my account in 3-5 days. I called last week, got the same answer. I called yesterday and was told that the previous person I talked to had got it wrong and not sent my card details through, hence the delay. I called half an hour ago on call number 4, was interrupted in my explanation that I was incorrect, and that ultimately, he can't check to see if the refund has been made after 6pm and to call back for the 5th time tomorrow morning!!!!!

I told him I was going to complain, he was pleasant but unable to help and advised me that CS close at 8pm so I may get my response tomorrow. Can someone please help me with what to say and who to say it to!

Many thanks
Plum

    I suspect you will find the refund's in your acct tomorrow and was delayed because of the bank holiday.

    But we are talking 7 working days? Even their reps say an absolute max of 5 days. Do you think I am over reacting?

    You are quoting tesco direct opening hours here and not grocery
