New rear shocks at 60k? Is this normal/typical?

I took my wife's 2009 93 SC into the shop for 60k service on Friday (8/16), and after the almost $1200 shock I received when the invoice was put in front of me, they told me the rear tires were slightly scalloped on the insides, indicating the vehicle's rear shocks are worn. They're not in stock right now, but it seems to me that 60k is early for shock replacements. I drove my '05 93 SS to 77k miles and the suspension was still in great shape. I overheard someone in parts say they are $600, but don't know if that is each?
Wishing it was a simple alignment issue, but I'm not sure. Anyone else replace shocks this early? I looked elsewhere on this board and saw talk about 70-120k+ before shock replacements.
