Double and triple ditto: PCBCart has free electrical test on their
boards. I've ordered somewhere around 400 boards from them over the
years and never had a problem. They DO charge a "setup fee" ($40 to
about $75, depends on quantity and board size I think) which is a
fairly standard one-time fee. That fee goes away if you do a second
run without changing the Gerber files.
