Jerkey used | Jerkey used Elecrow in 2019 and the reslut was great. I ordered "ten" boards, then in the checkout isle, i changed the quantity (of orders of "ten") from "1" to "2", then ordered the same "ten" boards in a different color, changed the quantity again, repeat, and ended up with 100 boards in five colors for like $50. Including rushed 3-day shipping (the cheapest option for some reason) brought the total for 100 boards to under US$100 and the boards look great (haven't tested them yet) | ||
Rab ordered [https://www.elecrow.com/pcb-manufacturing.html 10pcs- 2 layer PCB] ten times over 2015 to 2019. Each order was satisfactory. No extra charge for typical silkscreen colors. Faint marks on the pads indicate 100% e-test. No manufacturer's mark placed on either side. 1-4 extra copies were included with each order, possibly to offset any failures. No electrical failures. Some PCBs exhibited: light scratches in solder mask; minor inconsistencies in board outline milling; silkscreen faded or smudged. Shenzhen DHL shipping was 7 calendar day turnaround from order placed to received (multiple orders). With Registered Airmail, 21 calendar day turnaround (multiple orders). NOTE: Elecrow accidentally shipped one order via Registered Airmail, rather than Shenzhen DHL as requested. When contacted, Elecrow apologized and immediately refunded the difference in shipping charges. New website is operational and works fine. | |||
Rab | Rab recommends careful review of order confirmation email. Also, Chinese New Year delaying February orders is a real phenomenon. | ||

Rab abused their job preview function and noticed that it doesn't appear to display tented vias properly. (Renders as untented).

(Renders as untented). Better check your gerbers with [http://gerbv.geda-project.org/ gerbv]. Two of two orders placed had faster turnaround than expected. Good quality, a cheap option for tiny boards. | ||
