Actually it's a few dollars less ! Their component prices are generally cheaper than Mouser. For resistors I can afford to go up a grade and use metal film MELFs everywhere apart from logic terminations. And unlike some European PCB loading houses, they
don't add an 'inconvenience charge' for MELFs.<br>

<div style="line-break:after-white-space">JLCPCB is my go-to. They have great service, fine quality, and can do -very- affordable assembly too. Even in prototype quantities of 10, it's just a few more dollars to get most of the components soldered, too.

<div style="margin:0cm; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I know this question has been asked millions of time..<br>
Over the last years I did business with a local PCB shop in Quebec City for all my small electronics projects</div>
<div style="margin:0cm; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">With very good low priced quotes,<br>
But unfortunately the shop burnt down this year.. So..<br>
I’ll ask you all where should I send my gerber files for PCB making<br>
for a fair price ? I’m thinking about Chinese shops..<br>
USA shops are surely doing better products but as long as<br>
the PCB’s do their jobs cheapest is Ok for me. </div>
