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.

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.
Righteous, important piece of action for Palestine from Bologna, documented here on tape via Maple Death.
We salute every action that has been taken, and are continued to be taken. Silence is violence, noise is necessary. Now, and always.
>> We'll be donating our side of profits from this tape sale to a charity called H.I.R.N. based in Hebron and around Massafer Yata. In hope that they can counteract the barbed wire fence recently put up by settlers and Israeli army around the bedouin village of Umm Al-Khair - stopping the local children from reaching their school.
“Bologna for Palestine - Non-Stop Electroacoustic Improv” documents a live music relay with 17 musicians based in Bologna in support of the Palestinian population.
A three hour performance condensed into 20 excerpts that showcase the vital experimental scene of the city, from elegiac ambient bliss to pummeling noise, technoid mutations, sinister jazz, spoken word transfigurations, low thump grooves, vocal manipulations, desert guitars, alien IDM and collective chants. Furious, enraged and on point.

The initiative was in collaboration with Arci Bologna ("Con altri occhi" campaign) and ARTISTS AGAINST APARTHEID global movement. It was documented by the filmmaking group Lele Marcojanni and was live streamed by Impulse Response on Fango Radio (Italy) and Radio Alhara (Palestine).
