I use them regularly and so far I'm very happy with the results. Note that you should not expect miracles: those are boards produced in China at rock-bottom prices, so mistakes will sometimes be made. One of my orders got lost once and I had to ask for it to be produced and sent again. But considering my 15+ orders so far, I think this is a very good result.
As far as quality is concerned, I had no issues. The boards were always perfect. Also, they officially send you 10 boards, but I noticed that I actually often get 11 or 12. They also recently lowered prices for the larger sizes 5x10cm and 10x10cm. One thing that many people miss is that milling is included in the price. I often have fancy board outlines, rounded corners, or mounting screw cutouts (these take up less space than mounting holes). They are always perfect. I was actually worried recently, because I had a 20mm x 20mm board with milled cutouts on all four sides, but it was manufactured perfectly. The biggest problem with their business is the incredibly slow Hong Kong Mail, and even more disastrous China Post. In my case (shipping to Poland), it takes 2+ weeks for the package to make it out of Hong Kong, and then several days for it to arrive at my doorstep (it usually spends nly 1-2 days in Poland). Recently they shipped one package using China Post and that one took 5 weeks to get here. On the average, I've come to expect 3-4 weeks from clicking "order" to receiving the package from the mailman. Gerbers are not a problem in my case, they provide a job file for EAGLE, and it takes all of 30 seconds to produce them, zip them up and send as an E-mail attachment. All in all, a great deal. --J.
