False Advertising on PnP Online Shopping ?

I found a "Clearance Sale" on PnP Online Shopping last week, with massive discounts on alcohol.

So I placed an order for 2x boxes of Teachers Highland Cream (12 bottles in a box) and found a delivery slot for Friday 01/02/2019 between 14.00 and 15.00 - FREE DELIVERY!

The order was confirmed via email - attached image.

Friday morning the amount was debited from my bank account but I never received an order.

So yesterday I sent a tweet to @PicknPay as well as an email responding on my order confirmation enquiring when I will receive it.

On Twitter they asked for my order number via private message, which I gave to them. But today they sent me a mail advising that they are processing my refund.

I as a customer placed this order and paid the price as advertised and I expect to receive the goods which I ordered within the set delivery time.

If this order is not fulfilled, Pick n Pay is practically guilty of false advertising on a large scale.

I expect to have the goods I ordered to be delivered to my doorstep by tomorrow 06/02/2019 as Pick n Pay has already delayed their delivery by 3 working days which is pathetic.

I do not want a cash refund, I want the stock I ordered and which Pick n Pay confirmed on email.

I also demand regular updates on the status of this delivery up to the point that I have received it.

Furthermore, I highly doubt that I or any of my close friends or relatives will be making use of the Pick n Pay Online Shopping service after this order going so **********ly wrong.

Main points of concern: > No Communication > No Delivery Received > Poor Customer Service Delivery > Poor Problem Solving > Advertising Goods But Not Following Through On The Promise

I would appreciate it if someone can call me directly to advise when and how this will be resolved and when I can expect to receive my goods.

I am awaiting your response.

Reviewer Update
I would like to know how do you tell me "it is a 'pricing error'" on Twitter Direct Message but on HelloPeter you come with "no more stock for this product"? On your online order form, you give customers the option to choose between Similar Stock or Exact Match which means if you have "no more stock of this product" and I chose Similar Stock - which I did - you are obligated to provide me similar goods at the same price value for which I paid. Like I said in the comments below, you refunded me less than you took; It took more than three days after the delivery due date to start an investigation which was only started after I enquired about my order. I wrote to the CGSO explaining the situation as well as the contradictions in your responses to my query. I trust that I will hear from you soon with a clear solution on which we all can agree.
