Store Policies

If you’re not satisfied with something you purchased in the last 30 days, for any reason, please, give us a chance to make it right. Call (toll-free) 1-888-354-BIKE or email us through the contact page, and we will either refund your purchase and help you return the item you don’t want, or find a creative, positive way to resolve your issue.

We request payment at the time of purchase and require it before shipping. For all orders under $5000 we accept Credit Card, PayPal, Bank Transfer, Cash or Check. For purchases of more than $5000, please pay by check or contact us to arrange a bank transfer.

Orders will not be processed until payment is received.

We take your credit card security seriously. Since beginning business in 2004, we’ve had zero identity theft issues, only 2 refunds, and only one chargeback. (A chargeback is when the Credit Card company, e.g. Visa, issues an automatic refund to a customer who believes they were wrongly charged for a purchase at your store. In this case it was a stolen card number. We responded by selecting a more strict level of security with our credit card processor, Authorize.net.)

We don’t mess around on online security either. We maintain a valid, current SSL certificate. This is what enables us to put a portion of our web site, the portion in which we handle credit cards, behind “https://” encryption system. And our web host, www.inmotionhosting.com , is very much at the top of their game, security wise, and seems to have a top notch 24/7 IT department.

Please note that our 888 number occasionally routes to a cell phone. We have never had an issue regarding this, but if you don’t want to provide payment information over a cell phone line, please ask us to call you back from a land line.

We try to give you the best value in shipping for your Rock The Bike purchases. Our basic shipping is through FEDEX, and we pass our savings on shipping to our customers. We strive to make our shipping timely and affordable for you.

International Shipping: We ship anywhere FEDEX/DHL Express ships to Internationally. We strive to include Customs time to ensure your product arrives by your deadline. For Down Low Glow customers, our international option includes a 220 Volt charger. International shipments take anywhere between 2-10 days.

Shipping Deadline: We ship approximately 2-3 times per week, not every day like larger online retailers. This means that if you want something by a certain date (events, birthday, etc.) you should select ‘Express Shipping’ on check out and write a note along with your purchase explicitly detailing what the deadline is and when. Example: “Pedal Power Assembly: 10/15/2012.” If we can’t make it happen we’ll tell you. If you select Express Shipping and specify a deadline we can’t meet without upgrading you to FEDEX overnight service, we will call you and ask permission to add an additional charge to your purchase.

Express Shipping: If you choose ‘Express Shipping’ and don’t provide a deadline, we’ll still bump your order to the head of the cue and ship by priority mail (2-3 days anywhere in the country.) Express shipping is also available for International orders. 

If you need assistance with any of your Rock the Bike problems, please contact us at customerservice@rockthebike.com, or call our toll-free number at 1-888-354-BIKE.

Rock the Bike has never sold the names or email addresses of our customers or online community members to any 3rd party. If we hear of cool web sites, email lists, etc., we will let you know in a ‘opt-in’ way. Do not worry that you will receive email from unknown third parties.

The various products in our online store have different warranty policies. For Rock The Bike products including our most popular product, the Fender Blender, you have a 1 year warranty for defects in the product.
