PCB what your experience

[Mobsie]

I want ask what are your experience with pcb ordering?

I ordered at JLCPCB , also because it’s great integration in EasyEDA. Many use Pcbway.

In europe you can forget because the high prices, but from JLCPCB the shipping is also high.

I use JLCPCB. They do a $10 shipping option if you're happy to wait. That's what I always use
I've also used Seeed Studio (Yes, three 'e's) but as I tend to order 4 or 5 PCB sets at a time, JLCPCB ends up being the cheapest option.

Hi Mobsie,

I have ordered from PCbway and JLCPCB (and Cheshirenoirs Megacart from seeed :0)) and i like JLCPCB the best (No big differences, just small things in the handling i like more)
The only thing i like more on Pcbway are the "shared projects" to easily choose from...

Cheers, TOM:0)

Thank you. Yes the Service from JLCPCB looks great. I like how they inform you about every step.

JLCPCB is probably the cheapest even for Europeans, but I've had luck ordering from Aisler (made in Germany) for not much more money.

Wow, i check the website and it’s great.

Interesting to have this in my expensive country

I think they are actually Dutch, so they're outsourcing to Germany to save a few bucks! They don't have as many options as JLCPCB but if you're local you can feel good about it.

I've also used AllPCB in the past (also Chinese, but they have some unique options like pink solder mask and occasionally give out "free PCB" coupons.)

You can also use PCBShopper to check who's the cheapest for certain PCBs or for SMD assembly: https://pcbshopper.com/
