Fedex will charge you a penalty for not paying after some time... They do the delivery then send the bill.... guess how I know....

I always use DHL - have never had an issue with them.  Maybe their consider their service to include all fees?

Well, that's two that say I am wrong. I hope they are correct.

I am here often but was not aware of that person from JLCPCB being a long time member. Perhaps all is OK. I just like being cautious.

And there are ways of spoofing either the person's address or the domain. Here is the e-mail address given in the post above:

Daisy@jlcpcb.com

And here is Daisy with a DIFFERENT domain:

Daisy@ϳlcpcb.com

Can you easily spot the difference? I bet it takes some time if you can spot it at all. It took me all of two minutes to come up with the second address. I'm not even a spoofer and I can easily do it. With a bit more time I can make it look even better.

Boy, there is a perfect way for the scammers to bypass proper security. That e-mail address could go ANYWHERE!

No, that's not how e-mail works. If you see other e-mail addresses with @company.com referred to on said www.company.com site, you can be 100% sure it will end up somewhere in @company.com mailbox. Otherwise someone spoofed (or stole) the whole domain. But then the web site could be fake or intercepted, too.

That's why you should not copy-paste addresses when in doubt, but type them yourself. But again, you would otherwise have contacted support via chat on their website to remove any further doubt.
And, whatever the address, you would only pay via your account on JLCPCB anyway, so what's the risk. Never accept to pay outside of that.

HwAoRrDk:
If you are ever concerned about a potential 'look-a-like' domain, if you are a Firefox browser user there is a handy easy way you can check it: simply copy the domain part and paste it into the address bar of Firefox. It will automatically transcode any non-ASCII domains into their IDN Punycode representation and show it in that form.

For example, for the second example above, if you paste "ϳlcpcb.com" into the address bar, it will show in the suggestion box "xn--lcpcb-nle.com".

I don't know if any other browsers - e.g. Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc. - have this feature.
