Royal mail tracking said it's been at Heathrow since the 15th. Not sure why it has been sent back, maybe the sender failed to write an address or the had been some kind of error, or no customs have been paid.

Have you tried to contact the seller? Only they can help since RM is unable to speak to anyone else apart from the sender.

No, you would have received a grey card stating there is a customs fee to pay. That's if it came with RM and not via Parcel Force.
