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.
This time along, they present a hefty, momentous 40min piece, consisting of three tracks by Matt Loveridge aka MXLX, who, amongst other guises, counts for a heap of exceptional and unusual music under names such Fairhorns, Team Brick, and perhaps most famously as part of the band 'Beak'.
Below find some beautifully put words, taken straight from the Tape-Echo website, where you can also look at more images and words from the FuckPunk guys and MXLX himself...
"Awkwardly titled as a happy face made out of characters that do not exist on the typewriter, the titles and surrounding confusion and mystery of this record give further indication that this record is really best listened to, from start to finish, with full attention.
We've all heard this sentence before, and It's easy to say that, as it applies to many, but this record doesn't follow lazy guidelines of conform in any way... MXLX has created a three track piece that goes through many motions -
There is an immense shift in sonics throughout the LP , From the tuneful noise, the black metal-esque splatter right through to the extremely elevating, somewhat hypnotizing, isolated guitar parts that lure the innocent ear into a false sense of security just before the final assault, the relief...
This LP has an abrasive side, proving that MXLX knows how to fuck you up, yet it also shows his mastery of sound and a musicality that doesn't need to rest at mindless noise, it's a symphonic blast on your mind and soul, ready to cleanse your system and wipe out all doubt.
Basically it's a fucking stormer, so tell your neighbours to shut up, turn it up, sit back and watch the smiles unfold.
Read the latest FuckPunk info sheet, with words from Vessel aka APE, commentary from Ossia aka Oasis, and the ultimate accompanying blurb from MXLX himself, all laid out with various nice type fonts (comic sans, no less) and arranged in quick cut & paste fashion, including MXLX's impromptu press shot (the hand) 'for all the coked-up industry cunts out there'."
Served in edition of 250 records, in usual FuckPunk style and fashion – stamped, folded ripped, plunged in oversized plastic sleeve... This time there's even some meticulous MS Paint skill involved in the process.
Edition of 250, vinyl-only.
Served in oversized polythene sleeve, housing a foldout colour poster designed by MXLX (on Ms Paint)
Ripped & hand-stamped.
Produced by MXLX, mixed by Vessel / Ape and then mastered and cut by Lewis at Stardelta.
