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.
Collected recordings from sub-underground Tottenham DIY outfit I Can I Can’t.
One of those bitter-sweet moments when you find an amazing new album by a wicked new band, only to find out they’ve already packed it in. Still, even back in ‘09, they must have felt like a group out of time. ‘Meet Thy Manufacturer’ could be Sebadoh recording at Cold Storage, if it didn’t sound so damn much like Mike Rep & The Rotas ‘85 dork-paean ‘H.M. Has Destroyed My Mind’. Except it’s none of these, it’s an awkward skwad of reprobates in a Tottenham warehouse recording their earnest cries roughly a decade back.
‘(Let’s) Work Backwards’ clatters into view with utter wild-eyed desperation, before resigning back into organ-ic murk. A rudimentary 4x4 pots’n’pans beat drifts back into focus. Pure negi-vibing anti-anthemic post-punk urgency. ‘Locksmith’ sounds like a no-fi take on brothers’ Woo beige-bedroom escapism. ‘Snowglobe’ is spiky, Mockasin/Pink-ish downtown cartoon-funk mutating into campfire punk minimalism. ‘Ah Ran Be’ is an unexpected side-stepper, coming across like a Levi/Blunt joint backed by Sunburned Hand of the Man. ‘Hobbyist’ is a serene moment of early-morning clarity; dial-up tone, crackle & static, Clicks’n’Cuts style glitches dancing with cosmic rays, a binary pulse beginning to form. A luscious lick rolls in, recalling the most idyllic moments of Harmonia & Cluster. Then before too long, motherfucking ‘Here Comes The Warm Jets’-style outro drops in and cuddles you to death, genuinely epic.
Closer ‘Plume’ is most confounding of all, sharing almost nothing with the rest of the record. Even the fidelity feels markedly different; fully-rounded 808 kicks punch through what appears to be a Peter Gordon-penned eulogy for an East Asian dignitary. Just what the doctor ordered!!!
