Farfetch Advertises Free Returns But Charges to Ship Products Back

I purchased 2 items from Farfetch and I'm facing serious mistreatment. I bought 1 pair of shoes and 1 bag; the total was €330, with the shoes at €130 and the bag at €200. My items arrived at customs and customs demanded $1,160 in fees for these two products. I refused to accept this and wanted to return them.
The site advertises free returns everywhere, but that's not the reality; UPS requested approximately €400 as a return shipping fee. Additionally, with notary and other processing fees, there's approximately $870 more in charges. On top of that, you're also shipping the products back, creating a total loss of $1,450.
I've been struggling with this for days, and it's impossible to reach the company. I will be filing a complaint with the Consumer Arbitration Committee because nowhere does it state such fees for returns.

The items were returned, and apparently stuck in customs, but there’s no one to contact on the other side to resolve the issue. Farfetch hasn’t refunded my money either. I don’t understand how a company can operate like...
