So basically they only want the cheap and easy jobs.

Which would be fine if they had the option to pay more for trickier PCBs.
I have a few coming from ALLPCB, if they are OK I'll give them this one.

Let us know how that goes. I need a cheap board house. Have been shafted by OSHpark enough now.

I've had good service in the past from JLC,and their online gerber viewer is excellent (takes a while of complex big panels but usually gets there - way faster than Eurocircuits')
May use them again but only for more standard PCBs.

i'm a fan of easyeda, jlcpcb is an all too easy choice. especially since oshpark is more expensive and takes 3+ weeks.

How much time does JLCPCB takes to deliver to you?

For me in Jordan, Chinese stuff from Aliexpress needs 3-4 weeks to arrive.

What?! 4 days from China to USA?? is this Super Sayian shipping or something??

I thought it is like aliexpress\banggood which takes a lot of time in regular mail... there is gotta be something wrong here. Either you use fast shipping method (pricey) or....?

JLCPCB was 15 days to me in UK

DHL, ~$18 per order regardless of order size.

2 layer boards fairly consistently one week to the UK from JLC. 4L a day or two longer.
Via DHL

He produced PCB from them https://jlcpcb.com/ A very good quality

ivoras · « **Reply #64 on:** April 23, 2018, 08:01:01 pm »

I've made a ton of small projects with them and so far absolutely everything has been perfect!

For me, what makes it the best choice is convenience: they've integrated the schematic+PCB editor (EasyEDA), the PCB manufacturing service and the parts shop (LCSC, https://lcsc.com/) all in one. So you can make your schematic, make a PCB out of it, order it manufactured and order the parts for it so they ship in the same box as the PCBs. Yup, I'm lazy like that.

I've mostly used the "regular post shipping" method because I'm fine with waiting approx. 2 weeks for the package, so far not a single problem here, would recommend.

Main thing for me was the price and the Gerber preview wasn’t a hunk of shit

Just checked and they refunded my card payment a day after the order AND DIDN'T TELL ME!
I was just about to place another 3 orders today. Guess where I won't be senting those...

Same thing, after wasting four days.

Also, they've raised a lot of technical concerns over easy boards which other manufacturers have always done without any issues.

Received order from ALLPCB, all looks good.
Sent another couple of jobs with lots of routing and they said there would be an extra charge, which is OK, much better than just cancelling

About 7 days for last order here in philippines...I use the default DHL shipping which ads $19 to the total order.

mikeselectricstuff · « **Reply #69 on:** May 04, 2018, 08:10:26 am »

I'm now pretty much done with JLC except maybe the odd prototype. They just bounce anything that needs any significant amount of routing.

bd139 · « **Reply #70 on:** May 04, 2018, 08:30:34 am »

Interestingly I just had one bounced Tuesday which went through fine last time. There were some minor bugs fixed on the board and nothing else. No major changes.

I think this is arbitrary based on who reviews the board.

They contacted me offering sponsorship for my channel! they said free pcbs and money.

May I ask if you know... how much money do they offer? what is the form of support? per video or what?

You can PM me if you want.

Chinese companies generally want way too much for what they are prepared to pay
A few free $2 PCBs doesn't cover much of your time

I just want to know what they offered for other youtubers.

They messaged me on facebook saying they will provide money and free pcbs. So I wonder how much money? and how much pcbs?
