We're off the front page, so I don't know if you're still responding here. I just put in a fairly trivial project to evaluate pricing - a half dozen passives and two transistors on a ~1x1in pcb. My JLC quote is $74 (incl tariff) and yours is $599/$923. JLC will ship Nov. 1 via DHL, you ship either Nov. 19 or Nov. 9. So the summary is that China is 1 week faster and 10x cheaper. Maybe the bottom line is that there's a set up fee that's dominating this price. If that's the case, it would be really valuable to be up-front about it because that would help identify use cases where y'all's service could be economical.
I've been tracking PCB manufacturing in the US for some time (I think I opened my CircuitHub account ~10 years ago) because I love the idea of bringing manufacturing back to the US. But some mild negative feedback - I'm unimpressed by the over promising about pricing and timing that I've seen in this thread; it DID cause me to look at you guys again, but at the same time reduced my trust level. I recognize that there are economies of scale to be had here and maybe things will get better with more business so I wish you the best!
