The Grid is basically a big parts logistics system, no feeders to load.

Nice!

Correct.

Yeah we don't quote designs setup for JLC very well at the moment. We'll get there.

Yes we have benchmarked this extensively it's 8 to 14 days, median about 10 with long tail being weeks due to customs issues. The unpredictability is a huge problem for critical projects.

Sorry about that, we went viral in various places this week and demand has been through the roof. We are working round the clock to get more capacity online.

Ah thanks!

This guy gets it :-)

We work with many of the worlds largest companies, speak to our account management team for custom contracts and such. We also support Gerbers, ODB++ and IPC-2581 if you like, the flow is just a little less slick.

Love those guys. Happy customer also.

Broadly speaking, there's a western supply chain and a china supply chain, lots of like for like MCU's and such in each. The western parts supply chains are actually pretty robust and built over many years so you don't hear much about them.

I hear you. We need more locations. I'm hoping we can do a bit better than ground actually as drone delivery comes online.

Yeah Europe needs this capability too, we have offices in Europe so you can probably guess where this is going :-)

Yeah working on expanding the options here :-)

Understandable concerns. We don't call out competitors specifically but you can probably guess who we are benchmarking against. I did the one we describe in the blog post myself with our toughest competitor in Shenzhen, it's real I assure you.

I've run hundreds of low volume orders on conventional lines, it's death by a thousand cuts, tough to describe exactly why until you do it.
