Internet shopping, Problem with card refund

Hi Im not sure if I have posted in the right place. I ordered a pair of trousers online and recieved an email saying they were out of stock, had been taken off the site and would I like to buy another item or have a card refund.
I emailed requesting another size and said if they couldnt supply it I would like a card refund - I didnt hear anything (this was on the 24th.Nov) so I emailed again on the 26th of Nov asking what had happened and the company said that they had refunded my card on the 25th of November - I understand refunds can take a few days but it is now wednesday and i still havent recieved the money in my account - Im really panicking - is it normal to take this long - I have never ordered off this company before - my partner had asked for a pair of trousers as a christmas present and when they emailed back saying they had removed the item off there site and I checked and they hadn't I asked him if he had used this site before and he said no - Im really annoyed as I used my debit card (i dont have a credit card) , it was alot of money (£49 which is absoulutely ridiculous to pay for trousers) I should have checked out the site reviews fist (there are none) what can I do ?

    Give it a few more days.

    Go to Burtons for the trousers, at least you'll know that they fit and they'll be a sight less than £49

  • I would give it to end of the week normally takes a few days but maybe they a bit slow

    Try calling your bank, they'll be able to see it in the system before you can see it via your own online banking.
