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.
Part 8 from the 90s dubplate series, via Falasha Recordings / Aba Shanti-I soundsystem - Aba's brother 'Blood Shanti' on production -
The 8th instalment of the much-requested / much appreciated '90s dub plate series' is here, and it drops along with with the Part 7 of the series - the 12" of Joshua Horns ft. Digistep (also in stock here!) -
This latest unearthing from the heavyweight roots vaults of the Shanti-Ites / Aba Shanti-I soundsystem, comes in the shape of two cuts of 'Stepping Out Of Babylon' on the top of the disc, backed up with two cuts of 'Bound To Fall' below - both are pure vibes, and both go real heavy on the dub cuts too.
As we've come to love and cherish about that Shanti-Ites / Aba 'sound' - the tracks never lack musicality and vibes - those DX7 synth sounds come to full use on the first cuts, with heartfelt, almost innocent sounding melodies catching your ear and guiding your step as the bassline rumbles beneath and the drums drop like thunder on a big sound. The real magic of these tracks definitely unfolds when you hear it in the dance, with full pressure - but even in the homezone these should lift the mood and give you some good energy, no doubt.
Play those first cuts in full and let the music do it's thing, then lift the needle and let those versions come in like thunder after a hot day -
Serious stuff that will need no introduction to all true roots and UK steppers heads - everyone else, take a step inside and feel the magic
Big heads up on the raw dub of 'Bound To Fall' and all it's midi-sax & harp / thunderous bassline glory - but this cut is at the end of the disc for the reason -
the journey there makes it even better.
90s dubplate series Part 8 - this is crucial gear, just like all the others which we try to keep in stock as much as possible...
And remember - these get sent here straight from the source - big up Blood Shanti - so we keep the price nice(r) for you all as well
