Hello,
I have ordered this stove, and its been more than 25 days and have not received yet. Has anybody experienced this long waiting time?

Most of my orders for BRS-3000T stoves arrived in 10-14 days. But during the west-coast dock-workers strike, one shipment took over a month. Some charts for Chinese eBay shippers show 4-6% take >30-40 days and getting refunds. I'm guessing those were inretrievably lost or stolen in transit.

The are US sellers of the BRS-3000T if it absolutely, positively, has to be there in a fortnight. I've also shipped the stoves to BPL members when they were in a hurry and let them replensy my stock later.

I ordered two. The first one, from EBay took just over two weeks. from the day I ordered it to arrive in the mail. The second one, from Gear Best took 31 days.

Got mine after 28 days. Best to forget it and when you do get in the mail, it's like Christmas :)

Mine was shipped from Hong Kong to New Zealand then to California…gotta love gearbest.

Mine took about 6 weeks. I ordered a watch from them that took 5 weeks even though I paid for 6-8 day shipping. I emailed gearbest and they said they were waiting on a shipment from the manufacturer. They offered a refund but I just waited for it. I was going to order one of the GoPro knock offs then I decided to look on eBay to see if anyone was selling a used one. I came across a bunch of resellers that were in the U.S. so I just bought it from one of them. It showed up in 4 days. I'd look in eBay.

Has anyone bought one with standard shipping on Amazon? I would think that would only take about a week or so.

There are some on eBay in the United States (Hacienda Heights, Ca.) running about $16 shipped that should take a week or less.

This is an actual question and not a condescending smart arse remark.

What is so good about this stove that it's worth waiting so long for? I know the weight is a big part. What else?

I don't know much about stoves, but if yall are waiting a month for one, then I'm intrigued by it. I saw the video on GearBest of someone running it off of an aerosol type can. I know I've never seen that before!

Anyway, just curious to see why its worth it, if yall don't mind sharing your thoughts.

Thanks
Sam

Cheezus Crackers, Sam..:)

Even Roger Caffin likes them..where HAVE you been?

Ok, with that HALF serious berating behind us, here are the reasons why folks are willing to wait for one of those stoves-

1) It only takes a month to get one if you want the best deal for under $15 or you live outside the US . If you live here and want it ASAP,US sellers have them on EBAY for $20.

2)They are made of titanium and aluminum. Pretty much the same materials as a $50 Snow peak Litemax.

3)They weigh 25 freakin grams. 'Nuff said.

3)They pretty much have the same flame characteristics of the MSR Pocket stoves but have a simpler and better pot support design

4)Just about the most compact stove you can buy.

5) Simple design can be self serviced.

IMHO, anyone in the market for a light, effective solo butane burner would be stupid not to buy one. Even for $30.

It's the stove MSR SHOULD have designed to replace the Pocket Rocket..

If'n I didn't already have a nice Brunton Flex stove I'd get one.

Maybe I still will for a friend who had his ENTIRE house robbed of every item moveable including all camping gear.
(Yeah, I told him long ago to get an alarm system but he was too cheap and hard headed.)

Had a $100 Aluminum ladder stolen from the back of my shop last weekend.:(

It sucks getting robbed like that. I feel bad for your buddy..

A $15 BRS burner from China would make a nice care package for him.:)

For me, the combination of price( $ 10.95) and weight is something you cant beat.

Hey now, I'm just a simple minded southna'. You gotta pardon my lack of stove nawledge. ;)

Thank you for informing me on the great characteristics of this burner. I think I'll pick one up myself, seeing as they are so cheap.

I do appreciate you taking the time to post. Have a good'en. :)

FWIW – I purchased this stove from the ebay seller Tom D. linked to above. Purchase date July 19, estimated delivery July 27…still not here and tracking # doesn't seem to be valid. I contacted the seller and they sent an interesting message in return:

"Dear buyer, I am sorry to hear that you have not received your item yet. It should have been to your address as usual, but sometimes it may delayed due to the shipping problem. And these are out of our control. Hope you can kindly understand. Do you agree that we refund you at first? After you receive the item, please kindly pay back. Is it ok? Waiting for your early reply. Regards. "

I guess I'll take them up on the refund but I would prefer to have the stove…
