PCBWay Shipping Options to the U.S.?
« on: January 13, 2025, 04:00:15 pm »
I've never used PCBWay before, and I was wondering what folks in the U.S. typically choose for the shipping option. The default seems to be DHL.

Either DHL if you need it fast or the global shipping if you need it cheap, but fine waiting a couple weeks.

Thanks. The description of Global Shipping (Standard and Direct) on the PCBWay site makes it sound like it's a coin flip as to whether it'll actually show up.

I used it 5 times or so, never had any issues with it. It arrives though USPS on the other end. The time it takes will probably vary. The worst time I had was close to 3 weeks. Typically it takes 1.5-2 weeks.

Do you have a preference on board houses?

The recommended company on here and the one I used is JLCPCB. I only used them once, but was very happy with shipping time and service.

For some reason it doesn't seem I kept the receipt to reference costs; else I'd let you know what I paid.

I'm using PCBWay for some 3D printed parts. Someone posted the STL file on their site, so I figured I would just order from them.

Just updating this to say that I went with Global Shipping Direct, and the package from PCBway arrived at my door in nine days. Perfectly happy with that.
