It might not be possible if you didn't get the paperwork while in the UK. For each purchase you're supposed to get proper documentation which sites the amount due to be refunded to you, and then it needs to be inspected by customs when you leave to ensure that the products you purchased are in fact leaving the country.

See if this link helps explain it better than I did.
