- syedkarim 4y agoYes, absolutely. In three different instances, I received boards from China faster than I received quotes from American board shops.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 4y agoThis is also the difference between JLCPCB and many others. I go to JLC and they show me a price. First thing, in my face. Including the (very reasonable) constraints that I have to meet to get that specific price. I go to PCBway... price, in my face. I go to Aisler... "upload your Gerber file here". This is fine for returning hobbyists who already have a file, but if you're considering whether you want to invest the time into the project, not knowing whether it will be $2 or $200 puts a serious damper on even wanting to start. With hobbyists, this isn't just a deciding factor to get customers choose the competitors, it creates customers: Seeing the JLCPCB prices actually motivated me to learn KiCAD and make my own PCB.
