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.
Star of the moment - Simon Grab - of Yao Bobby & Simon Grab on LAVALAVA-fame - is not showing any signs of pressure-easing, coming straight at ya with new lifeforms in the shape of self-oscillating, ever-mutating, barely-harnessed frequencies straight from the guts of his cable-tangled, unique studio workspace, aka the scientific lab for brain-related sound research, for the pure, undiluted sake of intrigue, fascination, and, let's not forget: enjoyment.
This record was made with a similar 'no-input' approach - meaning that synthesizers and software were mainly left aside in favour of cross-wired studio harmonics and feedback oscillations...
Simply put: What happens when you send an echo into an echo chamber?
This LP could be seen as the evil sidekick to the 'Diamonds' record he released late last year with Yao Bobby on LAVALAVA...
Take away the raw human voice of Yao Bobby and the dub'd dancehall structures, unscrew the lid of this sonic mutation and pour in some battery liquid, and you're left with this new record 'Posthuman Species' -
A record that is at the brink of implosion, you can pretty much hear the equipment bubbling at the seams with a kind of deep black & purple mechanical oil, dripping through wires onto that spring reverb tank and through the electro-harmonix circuit via countless AUX twists & turns, fizzing and sparking up miniature lightning flashes as the reversed-sonics find their own path through the mixing board, creating new lifeforms in the shape of mutated sound - waveforms and electrical currents, controlled by giant hands and occasionally gazed-upon via spectacles and spectral-analyzers - this is the audio report of the scientist S. Grab as he tries to examine the monster he created.... the Frankenstein of Dub - It's ALIVE!
Total carnage, anarchist sonics for the age of the digital doom in feedback loop with a fast-turning physical world, the new dawn.
This one is for all the intrigued sound-freaks and those who wonder what it might sound like when the world can no longer be ruled by human beings, all the sci-fi fans who prefer the gritty, cyberpunk attire to over-polished far-out futuristix.
Take the red pill.
