I used their 2-layer service a while back it wasn't impressed, primary issues were solder mask wasn't up to spec, silkscreen was rough, and some copper was removed from areas that should have met their spec.

I wound up going with pcbway.com on the same gerbers and have used them many times since.

Thanks for the tip. I have just ordered a PCB where I really care about the silkscreen from DiryPCBs. We'll see how it turns out (given they pretty much pride themselves in not caring about the quality so much). If it's not up to scratch I will give PCBway a go.

Have you tried to ask them to re-do? I have not met this situation, what I received is good. I like the flexible logistics way Seeed offers. Sometimes it is expensive to pay for $20 express shipping fee for $9.9 board.

Didn't ask for a redo. Had it been just silk screen maybe.

I had sent my prototype gerbers to two places. Pcbway was better quality and cheaper. As a result, I gave them the rest of the production order.
