Because of the Chinese new year (they got up to 2 weeks of holidays), my order was only placed on production earlier this week, and they mentioned a substantial backlog. And my boards (NP41S) were not yet done. It would be another 3/4 weeks as I chose HK Post.

DHL is no longer an option for me as they will add clearing fees and tax (on behalf of me) if the value is over CAN$20. Before the recent Canadian dollar depreciation, my orders from Elecrow is always under CAN$20. Now it's always a bit over and DHL changes $20+ on top of the shipping cost. So now I would rather wait.

Definitely I will evaluate on PCBWays quantity w/ a reply here. Their web site is a bit difficult to navigate and they are also very responsive on my email questions, etc.

I had hundreds of boards done by Elecrow, but anything over 10x10cm costs too much. That's the only reason I am trying PCBWays.
