Now you can find the cheapest price for your printed circuit board project by using a website called PCBShopper.com. PCBShopper is an online quoting tool that works similar to the popular site Kayak.com for travel deals...instead doing so for printed circuit boards!
How Does It Compare Deals From PCB Manufacturers Like BasicPCB, Oshpark, Sunstone, DirtyPCB, & Others?
Just like Kayak.com searches the web for the best travel deals by “quoting” your trip with different airlines around the world to find and rank the best flights for your requirements, PCBShopper.com works in the same way. The online quoting system takes a look at your PCB requirements after filling the quote form one time, then goes out to dozens of PCB manufacture's websites from such as BasicPCB, Oshpark, Sunstone, DirtyPCB and many others to display the each printed circuit board manufacturer by the cheapest on top.
Can You Filter Results to Find The Cheapest U.S. PCB Manufacturer?
Yes. PCBShopper does display the printed circuit board provider’s location by country and users are able to then sort by location. For example, if you are trying to compare quotes from US PCB manufacturers like Sunstone, Oshpark, BasicPCB, and Advanced Circuits without having the results mixed in with offshore manufacturers, just look right under the PCB manufacturer’s name and you will find the location where your boards will ship from.
Does PCBShopper Compare Turntime Differences Among Manufacturers Such as Oshpark, Sunstone, BasicPCB, DirtyPCB, & others?
If you have found a cheap PCB manufacturer like BasicPCB, but would like then compare how the turntimes will actually differ from other competitors like Oshpark, DirtyPCB, or Sunstone. The PCBShopper tool will become very helpful as it takes into account not only the turntime, but also the time the carrier will take to deliver the order. By adding these two numbers together, PCBShopper will calculate and display the amount of time the order will take from the time you place your order until it is at your door!
