A colleague recommended
jetek-pcb -
Jetek-PCB - a small-ish operation in Shenzhen city. Sent them some artwork to be printed, and in an hour got a confirmation mail back, pointing to a number of possible problems in my layout, asking if I wanted to revise before continuing. Now THIS is the type of support you really wish for when using 1992-vintage PCB layout programs like I do - but it also shows a general attitude towards QC that is reassuring. Their prices are not the lowest around, but not higher than perhaps +/-50% from the rock-bottom-lowest. I think they compete on quality aspects rather than price - but still very,
very far from what I used to pay locally
, even considering a good half of their price is the shipping. Their usual turn-around-time, when no hurries is specified, is around one week from I send the files until I have the PCB's in my hand (Denmark).
If you try them, you will want to communicate with their guy
Ivan Mao - fluent English, deep technical knowledge.
