No, I cannot. I had to drop one supplier because they'd have my order laying around for a few days before processing it. On the other hand, the one processing the files there would call me in case he didn't understand something. The new supplier appears to have a dummy there. I recently forgot to do a ground fill after the n-th iteration and got a pcb back with hundreds of holes that were connecting to ground but the ground was missing. I'd have expected a call.
It is not only the price that matters. I'd rather have one that thinks a bit for itself. I once had an urgent pcb and sent the data to a boardhouse before going to vacation, intending to proceed when I'm back. There were a few unplated holes and even they knew it was in a hurry they sent an email and waited for a reply doing nothing for a week. I can drill a 3mm out myself, aahhh ... Then there are those that have a very urgent service, very pricey. They tried to call me for a day or so to ask me whether I took 1 or 3 for the same overall price. I have to tell them next time make 3, I can always throw 2 away later on. Aahhh. ...
