I have a little experience with British (PorcelForce?) and its China equivalent. As much as it hurts me to say it, a very large part of the problem/delay is clearing American customs. DHL, FedEx and other contract carriers clear customs as a whole (i.e., by container, not individual piece as with anything that connects to USPS). That speeds it up immensely and reduces pilferage (I lost some irreplaceable lathe collets to American Customs in NYC a few years back). When I checked prices, there was a $10 USD difference between DHL and China Post/USPS , which works out to be about $1/day for the added delay and lack of tracking. For FedEx, it was $1.50 per day. Either is worth it to me.I have used them the last 2 times, good result.
The offer China post as well as DHL,
Most have stopped shipping C.P. I guess because of the delay, which I was not concerned about.
Max.
Don't have that problem with CanPost, I believe one reason is that in the last 10 yrs, there has been so much Chinese imports, etc, that CanBorderServices have become overwhelmed.a very large part of the problem/delay is clearing American customs.
I can feel your pain, but what is the alternative? Years ago, I made all of my own boards, including double-sided with vias. The blank, double-sided, photosensitized boards were about $7.50 to $9.00 each plus shipping. Labor about a day (forget it). Quality (great, of course ), but no solder resist, silkscreen, or lots nice looking vias -- no comparison. So, $22.50 + $8 = $30.50 vs. $29. Yes, I hate to pay more than 8 times the cost of the product for shipping, but it is still cheaper in many cases.From a quote I tried: $3 for three boards, $26 shipping (UK).
