You need to multiply £2.99 ( £10.99 - £8.00 ie the overcharge per kg) by the weight on the pack you bought. Then deduct that sum (which is what you SHOULD have been charged )from the actual price on the pack. That gives you the overcharge. Multuply that by 2 for DTD.

See i thought that the overcharge would have been the £2.99 x by the weight. as once you deduct it as you say that is what you should have been charged not what you were overcharged the overcharge is the first sum so the lesser amount, if that makes sense.i may be wrong but that is what i thought.

Thanks.....for a dummy like me, this is probably the best way. I'm confusing myself more and more. :beer: Is it too early to start drinking. Oh wait, thats probably the reason my braincells are dead.....

It's a vicious circle :rotfl:

Don't worry your are not alone in finding this hard. None of the tescos staff can do it easily (or at all) either. If you want to do it you need a calculator.
I wouldn't have bought at your examples price, but obviously depends on your budget. The DTD is calculated:
Pack price 10.99 x 1.349 = 14.83
Price should be from SEL 8.00 x 1.349 = 10.79
Difference 14.83 - 10.79 = 4.04
So Double the Difference is 2 x 4.04, ie 8.08
Meaning pay 14.83, but get DTD 8.08 refund so actual final cost is 6.75

As I say, too expensive for me.Worth knowing how to work this out though, as customer service will probably get their sums wrong, but not necessarily wrong in your favour - although so far, for me, they have!!

I have a kindle paperwhite and love it my DS bought it me for a christmas pressie. I can read my books in bed without having the light on and have only charged it up twice since christmas and read everynight.

This was the first kindle i have had and well impressed

I was put off by reviews about uneven background light, pink/green tinges or lines. But the one I looked at instore looked great.

This has probably been asked so apologies but if I've got a S's receipt to snap on TCB in one picture how do you get both sides in? I'm literally doing origami here trying to fold it:rotfl:
