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.
Six lost slices of leftfield electro including the mythical and mysterious 'Hotline', a track that was originally scheduled for release on Mo’Wax back around about the year 2000 but only ever reached test pressing for reasons no one can quite remember, alongside five other tracks that take in dancehall, hip-hop and 2-step garage, all recorded during the same session...
Not only owning one of Manchester's most revered record collections (one that he dispersed of in recent years to buy gongs) and a tagged up Akai, Black Lodge's 'Hotline' is widely considered a 'lost' holy grail of the Mo'Wax and was brought to the attention of Arcola via an associate of the mysterious Mancunian. It's a peak time slice of electro madness that carries all the cheeky swagger of many a Mo'Wax banger back in the daze.
Being one of the first Mancunians to fully embrace UK Garage, the test tone skip of 'Mo Wax 4' carries more swing in one and a half minutes than many LDN garage dedicates did in their entire discography. 'Monte' gives the record some industrial gristle before we flip the plate and arrive at 'Mo Wax 5', which sources close to the bar have told us was originally recorded for a crew of US hip-hop MC's. An absolute belter of a tune, its chainsaw bassline is set to take out rival MCs and rappers like a double date.
Further flexing the dancehall twist, 'Mo Wax 6' revolves around some fidgety bass notes and fizzy drum work that will appeal strongly to those plugged into the fresh gear of STILL and Low Jack. We then end things with 'Microphone Demo01', bringing the rollicking basslines and graf tag druggy madness to its logical conclusion.
The trip doesn't quite end here though, keep em peeled for the spectral ambient haunting of Bitter Blood: A Collection Of Archival Recordings to be released on the Disciples label for a truly outward gazing twist in the Black Lodge story...
