I can consider myself as lucky here.

Every time I order something with JLCPCB, I always choose the cheapest shipping option and I get my package within 4-5 days.

(Yes, China is not far from Japan, I know...).

TBH I'm joking a bit here, @stephen_usher and I have had parcel issues lately, but I have to say that both JLPCB and PCBWay are pretty good, even when I choose the cheapest shipping.

I have to say that I do slightly prefer JLCPCB lately, they are overall much cheaper and allow a direct upload of gerbers, where PCBWay seem to need you to provide some PCB specs to get a quote before gerber upload.

Good to hear that !

Used PCBWay once, but I really prefer JLCPCB for the reasons you state.

To order these PCBs from PCBWay was half as much again as for JLCPCB. That's not good.

Yeah, was a bit surprised, they are only 2 layer PCB's.

:shock:

Up to 33% progress now :)

Wasn't it developed for sticking skin together or something? :roll:

Not sure, but it's very good at that :)

My wife tripped over once and had a gash in her knee a few years back, I used superglue to 'stitch' it up and it healed great.
