[edit] Just now received a shipped notice, so I guess stainlessbrewing.com is still chugging along...
Cheers!

No it is not. The shipping on my item was definitely slow. The quality is top notch and worth every penny. I have ordered two more items since and received them very quickly.
They had a big sale several weeks ago so I'm guessing they are catching up on those orders.
I was remiss in not posting this two weeks ago, but Life...
Anyway, a healthy slug of bling arrived from Stainlessbrewing, and that hex is just so nicely formed I had to show it off (in a tragically blurry pic
) before it disappears inside a HLT.
Good stuff.
Tonite a trio of 20 gallon G1 Blingmann kettles are going to grow a bunch of holes...
Cheers!

Last brew I realized my collection of nylon hop pellet bags had finally reached the end of their lives: they literally would not drain without squeezing, and when I did squeeze them they swelled before finally jets of wort would shoot out.
Then I found out my LHBS wants $4.50 for new ones. Woof!
Some batches need 5 bags - that's a lot of scratch for friggin' nylon - and heaven help my wallet on a double brew day!
So...I pulled the trigger and ordered a 6-5/8" x 18" SS spider from stainlessbrewing.com.
It shipped within 3 days and arrived in perfect condition (good packaging). The workmanship on this is excellent as well - the welding is impressive and it was plumb and square.
I trimmed the screen so the bottom just barely clears the step on my 10g Blichmann boil kettle bottom - I wanted to maximize the boil turbulence to keep the contents of the spider churning.
Also, the three metal rods shipped with short pieces of silicone tubing on the ends - at first thought I figured they were just to keep the rods from stabbing through the shipping carton. Turns out you can use three of those to keep the rods from falling off the spider, and the other three to protect humans from catching a rod end in the face.
After giving it a good washing just out of GPs I used it for the first time today and it was a revelation. Very little of the pellets got through the mesh, the boil really kept it churning like a percolator, and it took two minutes to hose out/off.
No more loading, tying, tea-bag-dunking, untying and cleaning hop bags. I'm a fan!
