Tigersheds faulty shed

Posts: 2 Newbie
I purchased a shed recently, which once I had erected I discovered the entire front panel containing door and window was bowed outwards meaning the door would not shut effectively.
The company I purchased from (tigersheds) are insisting that they come and fit some 'framing to strengthen' the panel.
They promised me 4 times since 19th June that I would get a phone call to arrange a delivery but they never have called, so they've had ample opportunity to repair it.
Today I have asked them for a replacement panel instead as I believe this framing will not work after they have explained to me exactly what it is, and I do not want extra pieces of wood strapped to the shed to try and 'strengthen' it.
They have flatly refused to replace the panel so I asked for a full refund and for them to collect the faulty shed.
They told me that they can do this but will charge me 25% of the order cost; £73.
I find this unacceptable as this is not my fault that the shed arrived faulty so why should I have to pay for it?
I'm planning to call the bank tonight as i paid on CC.
Am I right in thinking thats the best option?

You say 'recently'.
