[sdiy] Rapid (not too expensive ) pcb Protos ?? (China on holiday )

[Rutger Vlek]

I have good experiences with Dirty PCB. The delivery time depends a little on their fixed processing schedule. If you happen to enter the boards at the right time into their system, you can receive them in about a week. Sometimes a little more. Another thing is that I'm really fond of their clear and straight-forward website. With nearly all other PCB houses, I get an unclear quote that changes in the last steps of the process, unclear information about shipping costs that get calculated once the boards are ready, etc. I hate that! I want clear information in advance, which I feel Dirty PCB is providing better than most others.
