good, cheap pcb service found! PCBWay!

Hi all,


I found a ver very good and  really cheap pcb service!
Its called PCBWay, and they have cheap 2layer 10x 10x10cm pcb for just $5!
and shipping to the Netherlands was just $7!(china post)
And they have real good and very kind customer service witch reply back very fast and every question i had got answered in not time AND they give you $5 free for your first order!
Pcb's look good and came fast.
All pcb's where exported with eagle.
I got 2 extra pcb's(win win) probably if a pcb fails check or something.
I used blue silkscreen with white text for the pcb and also bought some project pcb's with holes wich i got in 5 collors and look absolutly great!
The blue silkscreen looks absolutly perfect, its really perfectly alligned!
and the text looked good, it looked a little bit blocky but still it looks great!
I ordered pcb's for a adafruit solar charger clone as i needed 9 of them and just didnt have the money to buy them.
Since i already had all the components i needed exept the pcb's i just bought the pcb's since their charger is opensource and created them my self to save some costs.(i'll probable sell the last one i dont need)
At first i thought if i had to buy the comonents also it all would be more expensive but i calculated if i wanted to create 10 solar chargers and bought all components from aliexpress and bought the pcbs from pcbway i save around $30 to my suprise!!!!!(first time self build a product is cheaper then buying)
The chargers are for my solar powered raspberry pi zero powered wireless timelapse and livestream camera's, witch will be mounted in my backyard pointing at bird homes and one as security camera for my back yard gate to watch intruders.
I already finished one of the charger and it looks really really impressive with the blue silkscreen!
I'll maybe upload some pics of my assembled pcb's and bare pcb's soon for other peaple to check and i am probably going to clone the adafruit powerboost 1000 charger too!(because its cheaper offcourse, i still bought a lot of products from adafruit so i am still supporting them).
The pcb's are of good quality, no broken or half traces, all boards are straight and not bend, all boards got the silkscreen and white text right so they just look amazing!
I really really recommend this service to everyone and i am defenitly going to try their 4 layer too some time!!
And they also offer cheap assembly services so maybe i will try that sometime too!
Since i am very very and very happy with my pcb's i am defenitly buying from them again and again in the future and recommend them to everyone!

So now i want to know who else used this service and had good experience or wants to try it out?


hope to hear from you all!

Dude, you can't be serious!!!! How come nobody ever heard of such a great deal !!!11

PS: Reported as SPAM.

PPS: PCBWay are brilliant. They show how low people will go to save $2.

well, if i type cheap pcb in google they are on the first page so i am probably not the first.
And they offer me $25 for this review thats why i do it.(2 free pcbs)
But is there maybe an more apropriate location for this?

There is no appropriate place for SPAM. You've been turned into a stupid spamming machine for $25. Think about that.

[Banned 2017.07.19 12:33]

well, you are right.
But i need quite a bit of pcb's so this helps me a lot, thats why i do it.
But i understand you see it as spam.

So littering in public places is fine as long as it helps you? You are a fine human being.

[voltsandjolts]

You need to understand that posting what appears to be fake reviews such as this for advertising purposes makes people LESS likely to use your PCB service.
I don't want to deal with a company that engages in such childish behaviour.
Try posting a proper ad in the Buy/Sell/Wanted with some technical/service/pricing/quality/speed reasons on why your service is better.

[ataradov]

LESS likely to use your PCB service.

Their goal it not to appeal to people. Their goal is to game search engines. This sort of spam comes from a lot of source and appears on a lot of legitimate resources, so it gets good weight in the rating system.

well, it isnt my service and i didnt like writing this review too(it had to be at least 500- words)
but it is for free pcbs.
and if pcbway wants to give me coupons for doing this then i am ok with it.(even though they wont get more customers by it anyway.)

But how to write a proper ad/review?

[ataradov]

Pick some other forum and leave this one alone. That would be a good start.

but it is for free pcbs.

That's pathetic. Your integrity costs just $25?

why leave this one allone?
It seems to be populair.

cant someone create a place on this forum for spam?

[wraper]

507 words, IIRC just 7 words more than 500 words which pcbway requires in a review for $50 discount on a new order. How nice from you registering an account just to post this crap.

[ataradov]

Why? To attract useless weight such as yourself?

well, this account isnt forr all the "crap" i do have some real questions too sometime.

[ataradov]

If you are a decent person, take this garbage out yourself. This is not a nice way to start conversation.

[ataradov]

Also, we have PCBWay rep somewhere around here. It would be nice if they could exclude this forum from their spam program.

Then why you registered this account 3 minutes before posting prewritten text?

On my last order they have held me to ransom for $50. They said I can have it back if I give them a review, depending where and what I write.
I wonder if they will give it back if I promise not to tell what they f#cked up with my order?

See, the thing that gets on my goat is, I make an order, pay them a sum of money which is usually inflated from the original online quote.
Now, at some point here, they are actually charging me more than they needed to, otherwise there would be no room for them to credit me and send out pcb's for free if I do a nice review.
So, technically that $50 is not free(of coarse, if you only spent $11 to get it well then I stand corrected).
Remember people, nothing is free, there is no free lunch! Always someone has to pay..

The thing that will get me to give a good review is:
1. not expecting/asking me to give a review.
2. providing good reliable service.
3. providing that service for a good price.
4. going the extra mile.

Now THIS is non-SPAM info that should be kept!

I don't think you understand the concept of SPAM.

[SMdude]

There could be a sub forum named "paid pcbway reviews".

Then we can all write lovely things in there and get our free lunch and not feel as though we have littered the hallways!

  Is there a flying pig emoticon?

[noras]

PCBWay has been well known in this forum,Next time do not publish here.

[Yellofriend]

How about a PCB makers hall of shame topic? I can add a few crap makers, can also add some heavy duty spammers. Some China fabs send me like 5 mails a day, every day.

[SVFeingold]

I can't help but feel this was a response to this thread.

Slapfights are certainly entertaining but not particularly useful...

[zeqing]

spam, or say, paid marketing cheap trick?
