bluehash 1,581 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This will allow us to get the boards quicker via DHL in 3-4 days instead of a week. 1. Start thread. 2. Submit design with color, size and number. 3. Starter of thread manages the order. 4. Order ships to starter of thread and then to individuals. Not sure if this is quicker or worth it. Had an idea, blurted it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lgbeno 189 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I think this would be worth a try. It would probably save a week and some $$. Only problem is that everyone except the thread starter will have to pay for shipping twice. I've used the dhl option twice now, it's great to get the boards in way less time and you don't need to sign for it like the china post often requires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JWoodrell 285 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I would be interested in it, I hate waiting, lets see how it works out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I definitely would like to finish up a few designs to toss into the order! Sent from my C3PO via Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Not sure this is worth the trouble. Once when I used DHL option, my package spent 5 days in the clearing house and in the end it took as much time as the regular post did. All boards would have to be ready at the same time. In the last few weeks, Elecrow orders take less than 3 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think this is only a viable option for US (and maybe CA) customers. European shipping is expensive anyway, plus inter-country shipping in Europe is expensive as well. If I'd order something in Belium (I'm in NL) it's cheaper to drive 30km than to let it ship over the border. So, if anyone starts such a thread, start with stating the country of management in the subject. It's not worth for Europeans to look into a US only thread in this case.

Rickta59 589 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 This is a 5 year old thread. PCB prices have dropped significantly in that time and you can get free DHL from some of the China companies. @NicloePatt are you a bot placed here to promote your PCB board company? I haven't seen you ask or respond to any question here in all your posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
