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!
Free Shipping?

This is automatically applied at checkout and reserve orders also count towards it.
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.
- finally here after a bit of courier confusion with these new made up rules between 'french' and 'english' waters
this time-tripping, brain-melting, heart-rendering long form synth excursion from Surprise Barbue, served up via ex-Bristolians Olmo & Heloise zamzamrecs sound-ship!
It took a few moons, and a few tides came and passed in the meantime, but just the other day a box filled with copies of this album washed up outside of our HQ in Bristol, and we're extremely happy to be able to hold copies of this special thing now, and perhaps even share them out with you & yours....
This one instantly grabbed us, soon as we heard that title track.
Kabukichō got us mad-hooked (no complaints about this addiction) right from the first revolution of it's dreamworld navigating, spine arpeggiating brain stimulations. What a beautiful piece of tune!
P.S. there's a nice video of this one to be found on the www, and it features dogs, rabbits, neon lights and slomotion tokyo - well worth the visual trip, if you got a minute.
Although the title track is an absolute treasure and in our opinions validates any price tag already (what the f^k is money anyway), thankfully this album lives up and stays up.... Up there somewhere between those purple clouds at night time, where holographic entities of synth masters and prog-protagonists ride on flying elephants through clouds of rainbow coloured frequency and dreams are made of tangerines rolling up the same stairs that heads once rolled down in aztec times, in a parallel universe where Tito became the musical entertainer of all Quetzalcoatls and the tropical forests engulf city life and Deep Sea Dwellers alike.
Or maybe we're just floating souls above tokyo, entering the void, but in a world where the darkness is covered in sugar and it tastes pretty damn good in our euphoric, post-world states.
With this 9 track (hmmm, or was it 10?!) LP, Benjamin Moutte & Kevin Valentin, aka Surprise Barbue, grace that iridescent zamzam cloud with their first vinyl, following the 2019 'Super Barbu' tape, and it comes served in a limited run of 300, with super-nice artwork, on dark green fluro wax, sounding perfect in all it's analog beauty
Honestly, this is one is medicine.
Only good side-effects.
We're pretty much the only shop on this Island with who have these right now too, just sayin'
Edition of 300.
