No I just shook my head.. I've payed UPS hundreds at the door.. And they take CHECKS only! So i have to go find the damn checkbook! One delivery guy told me that younger people always say "what's a check"? LOL

Well at least I finally got a refund check yesterday from ups for the multiple $40.00 pay on arrival tariffs.

Yep I just ordered 5 unassembled boards last night from JLC. Board total was $10.50 Final total with DHL shipping $60. global standard was 3 times less but I was worried about getttig hit with $30.00 tarif on arrival after waiting a month for slow shipping. It’s a lose lose either way :(

I’ve had multiple tarrif charges from UPS where they come to the door to deliver my package (after I’ve already paid shipping) and tell me I have to pay $40 for the package (pay by check only). I finally got a refund check from them yesterday for $12.00.

$59.00 order is the threshold for the low cost global standard shipping... once past that you have to use DHL ($40 + bucks). PCBWay allows global standard regardless of order $

yes thats the kicker.... after you do that X 5 boards your price is past the cheap shipping / duties threshold

My boards were small only about 50mm.. it was the assembly that drove them up to $20 per board and then forced to use DHL.

Well.. one thing is they (PCBWAY) kept dropping the ball and then waiting for me to respond when i already had so i think at least 3 or 4 weeks of the two months its been were communication breakdown.. The reason JLC was much faster is them forcing you to use DHL. if your boards are < $50 (at...

Here’s the same order (after board revisions) but ordered from PCBway instead. It’s a bummer cuz I prefer JLCPCB and EasyEda makes linking the parts and ordering a breaze and their turn around is fast but the cost is insane.

Here’s the receipt from my last order. Same order was $60 something at PCBway.

If the boards you order (assembled in my case) are over $50.00 I think it is then you are forced to use DHL shipping (JLCPCB makes that your only option) which is about $40.00 plus $40.00 in duty and tax fees I was ending up at $170 to $180. Same boards from PCBway were $60 plus about $5...

JLC is pretty fast but if in USA the duty fees are insane.. and $80.00 order cost me $180. PCB way cheaper but its been two months and my boards aren't here.

OK just need to make a decision on wether to do a drop in button / controller board or just keep it like it is where you have to cut the board with a dremel tool and drill a hole and solder the cables. Also looking into a way to do away with the maclock USB board and just mount a custom one on...

A complete kit with EVERYTHING would be about $200. MY COST... I am basically not making any side money building them at a $250.00 price (after tax packing eBay fees and shipping) like what's on eBay. They take me 3 to 4 hours to build. So thats why I am suggesting a kit that only contains my...
