Topic summary

The discussion compares Chinese PCB prototyping services including JLCPCB, ALLPCB, HQPCB, and PCBWay, focusing on pricing, lead times, and service quality. JLCPCB is noted for its low cost but high urgent order surcharges. ALLPCB offers fast turnaround times, free global shipping for packages under 1 kg, and had a $5 coupon for new customers, though this promotion may have ended. PCBWay is recognized for good pricing, quality, and 24/7 customer support. HQPCB is considered professional but less price competitive. Users recommend using PCBshopper.com to compare quotes across multiple suppliers efficiently. Some participants highlight the cost advantage of Chinese PCB fabs over American suppliers, though US-based fabs like Oshpark and Sunstone are preferred for small volumes or professional applications due to quality and feature sets. Additional mentions include PCBGOGO for small batch orders starting at 5 pieces and directories like PCBDirectory.com for locating fabrication and assembly companies by country and prototype capability.
