It's quickly become obvious that PCB ordering is a big pain point without my micromanagement.
In an attempt to simplify this process, we've created a google form. You can upload your gerber files and shop staff will order your PCB for you and let you know when it arrives. This model has worked well for 3D printing. Find the form on our website (click the big blue button).

Any professional PCB design CAD software (KiCad, Eagle, Altium...) can export gerber files. Let me know if you get stuck on gerber generation.
Unfortunately, the shops cannot provide PCB design services at this time. Still, this option for PCB ordering should provide some outlet for those designing their own boards or wanting copies of existing designs.
Thanks to Amber for taking the initiative to put this together! Please let Amber know if you have any problems or suggestions for the google form itself.
Best,
Blaise
