Is it reasonable not to pay?

Earlier today we picked up a Click and Collect order from Sainsburys. There was no shelter and we had to pack bags quickly in a downpour. Sainsbury's don't bag up, you have to decant from plastic trays into your own bag and everything was wet.

We'd ordered two of a particular item that comes in a distinctive cardboard sleeve. We could see that we had one of them but we couldn't find the other, so the assistant went back into the shop and got us a second one.

We got home, unpacked and found that we had had the second item all along, it just didn't have a cardboard sleeve and so looked different. We owe Sainsburys £2.50.

I've phoned the store four times to try and pay. There's an automated phone system and when I get through to the orders line as soon as I mention the words Click and Collect or Order or Mistake I just get an irrelevant automated message. I've tried to use their online Help Centre and it's frozen.

I'll try again later but I'd like Mumsnet to advise how many times I am morally obliged to try/ how much time I ought to be expected to waste, before I can just shrug and forget about it?

Once is enough!

I wouldn't have even bothered phoning them.

Make a £2.50 donation to a charity Sainsbury’s raise money for? It’ll be much easier than trying to pay it back directly.

That's what I'd hoped, but whenever I do a self-scan shop there I'm selected for the security check, so I've become a bit paranoid about the whole thing.

You tried & you couldn't get through. I wouldnt worry about it.

Don’t give it another thought. It was an honest mistake, you’ve tried to put it right. Don’t waste any more time on this. They won’t miss it.

Don’t pay it. Sainsbury’s have messed up my click and collect orders more times than I can count and despite frequent complaints I never get a response so they deserve to lose £2.50

YABU as I wouldn't have even bothered.
