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.
Follow up to the excellent record on Disciples from a couple of months back, a half hour immersive sonic collage from Warren Defever’s 'His Name Is Alive' project.
Hard to top the wicked writeup from the label themselves so we'll add that below - there's no audio clips but rest assured, this one's a real trip!
'6TEEN OK, the new cassette mixtape from Warren Defever’s His Name Is Alive, opens with tape-fuzzed audio of a radio presenter telling us that ‘you’re listening to the Prince weekend’. However, this is unlike any Prince we’ve ever heard before.
Sure, as you listen to this half-hour-long sound collage you’ll find that certain elements of The Artist Formerly Known As’s oeuvre are instantly recognisable - a ripping guitar solo, for instance, or the dinky keyboards from ‘When Doves Cry’. However, these sounds are often drenched in delay or buried in the mix, subsumed into a set of hissing lo-fi drones and beatific ambiences. Rather than letting Prince’s music take the lead, here Defever dissolves Prince into the ether. It’s also worth noting that Prince isn’t the only famous musician referenced by Defever here - listen close enough and you’ll be able to discern a Cramps cover in the mix.
Turning our attention to Defever’s own contributions, there is a strong hauntological slant to the record’s combination of washed-out tones and chintzy synth pads. As such, 6TEEN OK nods to many contemporary genres - hypnagogic pop, chillwave, vaporwave - that have degraded the sounds of the past in order to create new work for the present. Defever’s varied, synapse-firing music here steers close to everyone from Jefre Cantu-Ledesma to Wolf Eyes, John Maus to Panda Bear.
6TEEN OK, the latest His Name Is Alive tape to be released on Disciples and intended as a companion piece to recent archival compilation All The Mirrors In The House, is a post-ambient masterwork.'
