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.
We couldn't resist picking a handful of these prints up from the Turbo Island studio, just around the corner from us, here in Bristol.
Fellow Bristolians will know all about Turbo Island, geographically and now hopefully also as a wonderful brand of Clothing and Print designs.
For those that don't have a clue, here's a write-up from a good friend of ours, sure to keep you just as clueless:
"As the famous Chinese proverb goes: “Beauty is in the eye of the tee-holder”. And never before has such a wise adage rang more true than with Turbo Island Tees, perhaps the most beautiful of all tee shirt companies ever to have entered into anyone’s eye.
The primitive utopianism of life on Turbo Island is far removed from the Western experience, its inhabitants perpetually suckling on the fertile teat of creativity offered up by their homeland. The Turbo Islanders whittle their time away producing fanciful tees in orgies of creative excess, thronging the land all day long with song and thrusting sopping gobs of indifference at the outside world.
The just-don’t-give-a-jot attitude of the Turbo Islanders is reflected in their music tastes, which they regularly decorate their wares with. Harking back to a time when music was better, they smatter the topography in a who's-who of musical tee shirt heroes: Kraftwerk, Billy Onyeabor, Philip Glass, Can, Manuel Göttsching, Ron Hardy, Arthur Russell and many more. Who knows how these artists ever came to be known in such a remote land? Perhaps Turbo Island was once a desert island disc destination for the world’s most happening deejays.
So, Turbo Island tees make a great choice of clothing for Westerners looking to capture the utopianism and cultures of those exotic climes. For example, vintage fashionistas can mash them up with accessories and tattoos hijacked from bygone eras to emulate the spirit of lost and more exciting times.
Never forget what a wise old saying “Beauty is in the eye of the tee-holder” is. If you’re a music fan wanting both beauty in your eye and to be a tee holder, there’s worse things you could do than take a trip to Turbo Island. Tees for sale in the souvenir shop, in between the bookmarks and the clotted cream fudge."
