I’ve been using JLCPCB for the last few years and they’ve noticeably stepped up in quality since the single 2018 board that was displayed here. Nothing against Elecrow, they make fantastic boards, too. I’m just kind of impressed that I can have a super high quality board in under a week from a few fab houses now, usually for under $60 shipped. I haven’t seriously used those standard white breadboards for years now.

JLC is awesome. Shipping takes 3x as long as it takes them to make the boards, even with PCBA (which is to say they are fast). I do wish we had the equivalent here in the states to cut down on the shipping time.

Oshpark?

After 6 days of no movement on an Oshpark order, I made the same order on JLCPCB. They both arrived the same day.

oshpark isn't too much more expensive for really small boards.
