Has anybody got any experience of JLPCB

Morning all.

I'm looking to order some v2 Analog PCBs (It's a VGA adapter for the Apple ][ ) and in the past I'd usually use PCBWay, but a minimum of 5 PCBs plus postage is nearly £90.

Trying JLPCB, it comes in at £60 for the minimum 5 PCBs, which is much more appealing :)

So I was wondering if anyone had any experience with JLPCB and what was the PCB quality like?

TIA

I have no comparison with PCB-Way because I only ordered from JLCPCB and never had any problems. You may also try OSH Park.

Thanks for the fast response.

I did look at OSH Park, but they were more expensive than PCBWay. I'll give JLPCB a try this time.

I have used JLC and PCBWAY and a million others. JLC are fine for PCB quality.

They do offer cheaper postage but takes longer. But if you wanted them in a hurry maybe we could team up and I will just order them. Then we can split the postage for the courier. I am always doing orders to them anyway.

Always use them for my PCBs.

Fast, cheap and good quality.

Thanks for the offer, I'll think about that next time, but I have now ordered and got over £10 in discounts for being a new customer, so all good :)

Have had about 6 PCBs (2 and 4-layer) done by JLCPCB. The boards are cheap and good but the shipping can be expensive.

Yeah, that was the problem with PCBWay, the boards weren't too bad, but the shipping was the problem. JLPCB came in over £30 cheaper inc shipping in the end, £40 cheaper with the discount codes they gave me.

I'm not a frequent PCB buyer, and shipping shock always gets me.

And they're in production :)
