How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
We have a couple of copies of this oblique piece of sound-art and disruptive dark ambient, from Ekaterina Bazhenova-Yamasaki, served in edition of 150 copies via Kotä >>
"There are two ways to use sound: in one way sound is close to music, however, it is also close to sculpture. In fact, it is not the medium that’s important but that you have a beginning and an end and that you can move around in the space."
From the dizzying vertigo of opening track 'LA', which opens up the vortex across a slowly expanding tunnel of motorized drones, bass convulsions and whirring atmospherics, through to the stark, red-hot and hellish soundscape of Death Valley - Ekaterina Bazhenova-Yamasaki really manages to conjure up worlds that feel relatable, but totally otherwordly at the same time -
There's a good chance our ears are being tricked by the mangled nature of these frequencies, abstracted into new shapes, but when diving into the sounds of this long playing record, we can hear a twisted sound of the sea, the sound of embers burning at dry leaves, we can hear industrial, machinistic sounds and we can hear gentle, airy movement via frequencies all tangled up in a kind of dance with each other, like a simulacrum of opposites, melted into a hot lava of slow, peaceful destruction, like a force of nature in all it's beauty, and danger.
- like an entry into another world, just let it play out from start to finish and see where it takes you...
