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.
About a year (or two?) ago we saw a few of these peculiar 8” dubplates floating around FuckPunk HQ, wondering when they might actually see the light of day.
Over the various months there have been intermittent reports of friends getting their hands on these, Discogs even has this is listed as a Record Store Day release, but that’s not true.
DJ Ape & DJ Oa$is are simply quite all over the place when it comes to running their label, but I guess that’s fine.
So now, finally you can truly get your hands on this grubby 8” release, or perhaps one of the cassettes packaged in recycled loo roll tubes.
The tracks are by far the most ‘punk’ on the label yet, this is proper ‘I Don’t Give A Fuck’ bedroom punk material, nothing more, nothing less.
The title track ‘I’m Gay’ is about as punk as it gets, it’s a massive ‘Fuck You’ to all homophobes and conservatives, like a righteous poke in the eye for all stiff and stale mindsets out there…
And considering that this track was recorded in 1983, it’s (sadly) still a relevant jab, 30 something years later, in a society where we find it hard to accept each others differences and just get on with it.
But most of all, it’s a good bit of fun, and that’s Punk in itself.
Bolstered alongside, we find the excellently titled ’Half Inch’, ‘Shit Dixon’ and ’Who Gives A Fuck’ - drums all over the place, vocals recorded straight into the sanyo tape player, you know the drill, teenage punk styles putting over-deliberation to shame with quick furious lashes of joyful noise.
Pay your respects to The Bots, and support this latest FuckPunk outing -
There are about 30 of these dubplates left here, and there are a handful of cassettes to go ‘round too.
