Questions, Larger Orders & Assembly Service
We've setup a forum where you can ask questions about our new service. You can also email us at pcb_at_CuriousInventor.com with questions. If you have a larger order (300+ square inches), we'll likely be able to offer you a better price than the simple form provides.
Finally, we also offer assembly service. Please email for an accurate quote, but as a reference, the cost is approximately $200 setup fee ($40 if repeat order) + $.05 / pad + shipping to and from China, which is typically $150 round trip. For small orders, you'll need to ship your parts to China.
