+1 for JLCPCB - extremely affordable and delivery options to suit all circumstances. I am generally happy to wait over 2 weeks if the delivery charge is only $5 to the UK. Similarly if I absolutely positively have to have it in a few days then their expedited service is excellent. I am completely unsure but ny first ever order with them cost about $9 for 10 boards and I got them in a couple of days (beginners luck?) - nothing like that since then but production and delivery status information is available at all times. - RIchard
