GBIt's my new go-to place for small PCBs! I've used this service to make several small PCBs and it works great! You can get a instant online quote using just board dimensions. It's easy to upload your design files, and you can put multiple board designs into one shopping cart for a single payment, which is actually really handy. Quality seems great, even for small geometries. It's a great service, especially if you just need a handful of little 2-layer boards. If your PCBs are really small, like around 1 inch square, it's a phenomenally good deal.

GBPerfect every time I've ordered boards 5 times from basicpcb. The quality has been consistently good, and the orders arrived on time. On one of the batches, I forgot an excellon drill file, but they promptly emailed me and I was able to give them the file directly. It appears from the postage that they're located in Denver. You will get small text on the board silkscreen, presumably an internal tracking number for them.

GBExcellent Quality Have used several PCB houses over the years. BasicPCB exceeded all my expectations. Etching was clear, silkscreen is legible, and there were no mistakes. In addition, the pads were tinned and wicked up solder immediately for great solder joints from the first shot. Thanks

GBNo quicker, more expensive, and lower-quality than OSHPark and Chinese fabs My ValueSpec order (randomly selected substrate and solder mask) was manufactured on 0.8 mm board with matte green mask. While the PCBs work fine, they aren't without fault and the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Pros: ✔️ Smooth edges, with no mousebites or protrusions ✔️ Made in the USA Cons: ❌ My boards were cut obscenely crooked on one side, exposing copper and truncating silkscreen. ❌ Very poor silkscreen resolution: Thick and sloppy, with dull edges. ❌ No quicker to fab than OSHPark's basic service tier (8-9 days), and considerably slower than SeeedStudio (4 days). ❌ More expensive than both OSHPark and Chinese fabs. ❌ Cumbersome, opaque Gerber upload process: Files must be manually renamed prior to uploading and each layer given a very specific filename, and the website has no Gerber viewer to preview how boards will turn out. ❌ ValueSpec (the only affordable service tier) doesn't even allow choice of PCB thickness, which can be critical with THT boards. ❌ Tracking number not provided unless you ask for it.

GBStunning customer service. Website could be better. Heard about BasicPCB through AllAboutCircuits; thought I would give them a try. Their website could use a bit more work. Some buttons/forms/pages are a bit glitchy, but does not negatively impact performance. I contacted their customer service about this (as well as later on to get a tracking # for my order). They replied within a day and were courteous and helpful. PCB's came a few days later and I could not be more happy. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
