Seemingly very bad at refunds

My first time ordering with this company and I admit to not reading the returns policy about paying for your own returns, but still that's fine. Item of clothing didn't fit so I returned it immediately on 1st May, I received an email from Rare (London) on the 3rd May to say they have received it. Its now the 10th of May & still no refund!
It's almost like they don't want to give you your money back!?
As a first time experience I can't see me using this company again

For international returns it’s impossible to return an order. The shipping costs are over $100 dollars. The website is very misleading in making an international customer perceive returns are easy. Awful. I feel completely scammed.
