Consumer issue

I'm sorry I couldn't find the right place to post this but hopefully someone can help.

Months and months ago I purchased a grade A reconditioned phone from OG Exclusives. Long story short, phone was faulty so sent it back, replacement was also faulty so sent this back too. The second phone I sent back never reached them. After weeks and weeks of contact with this company, it turns out that a Royal Mail delivery person was stealing phones and mine was one of them. This information came from OG and I was told once it had been cleared (wtf!) then I'd be reimbursed. Gave them a couple of weeks to refund me but nothing. This was back in March. Then obviously lockdown. The company still traded through lockdown, I checked, and phone lines still active.

Many unanswered phone calls and emails since then and still nothing. I've been in contact with CAB who gave me ODR details ( resolution company) and still nothing. ODR are not operating a phone service so I've emailed them, more than once over the last 6 weeks and still heard nothing back.

I just want my bastard money!! £350. I need my money. Actually half is my son's money as the phone was for his 16th birthday and couldn't afford it all myself. He's going to be 17 in a couple of months that's how long this has been going on.

I just don't know what to do next.

How did you pay for it? Could you use chargeback on your credit or debit card if that's what you used?

Although it's not really the companies fault if Royal Mail caused the issue

I know it's Royal Mail's fault, but I'm not waiting for a refund from them. I paid by debit card and the CAB advisor told me I can only use chargeback if it was debit card. Is that not correct? I don't know too much about these things
