There are now long delays in getting PCBs from China - if ordered now it could be a month. Hopefully it will get back to normal soon.

Thanks Mike, I think my forum message on Sunday wasn't spotted.
If the boards are being restocked I'll add the other bits to an order I'm making.

Not sure what size the boards are - but XTW on my recommendation, had 10 boards made 10 days ago by JLCPCB and with DHL express was exactly 7 days from sending Gerbers to receiving boards.

I have used JLPCB 3 times and last order used their cheapest method of despatch ordered 5th Jan and arrived 24th Jan, for 150 100x160mm DS boards, cost per board including carriage worked out at £1.30 each appx, and the quality was better than Seeed who I have also used in the past.

Hi Steve

We will order some more but I generally wait until we need several PCBs or else the admin / shipping costs are very high - don't want to waste members money :-)

And as Mike says there could well be some delays...

I have used JLC PCB. As a new customer you get a discount and if you go for the slower shipping you can get 10 boards for under $10 in a couple of weeks (normally).

Why can I not order more than 1, there are 17 in stock?

We use woocommerce as a shop plugin and this as standard either allows the purchase of 1 or unlimited quantities.

Unfortunately, we have had times when people have bought many items to sell to their friends and meant we sold out before BATC members had the chance to buy any so by default we set everything to a maximum of 1.

However, I have bought an additional plugin for woocommerce which allows us to set the maximum quantity. Unfortunately, it means I have to edit every product line so will do them over time but I have set the Pluto PTT PCBs for a maximum quantity buy of 3.

Thanks for your answer Noel.
I orderd now 1 item 3 times, 2 for me and one for our club station.
