Our stock is always subject to availability. Rock Town manually updates the stock on our website. In addition to manual removal of items, we also use automated systems that remove items when they are sold through e-commerce. There may be times where stock is inaccurate on our website, which will result in Rock Town not being able to fulfill your purchase. Stock availability may result in Rock Town only being able to partially fulfill your order, or not being able to fulfill your order at all. We will contact you in these instances to determine if you would like your order to be partially fulfilled, refunded or put on hold while we wait for the items your ordered to be restocked. We apologize for any stock issues.
SHIPPING RATES
Shipping costs are calculated using a few factors: weight, dimensions and shipping destination. Shipping rates are included in the final purchase price when checking out on our website.
