As an electrical engineer I've used pad2pad many times over the years for prototypes and small batches of boards. They've always produced high quality boards. They're fast and easy to use compared to many other companies that make you jump through hoops to not only get a quote, but to even order. They even beat their own production times for most of my orders. Most recently they made me a rush set of boards that I quoted and ordered on a Monday to me by Friday of the same week.
I ordered boards from pad2pad. They arrived when they told me they would. The boards were shrink wrapped and had a label with a user number for pcbway.com in China. I went to their website and found I could have got the boards at the same time for half the price.
I have used pad2pad for all my commodore projects LOTS of them ......
the software is very easy to use and gets better every time it is updated , I am very happy with the advancements they have made over the last few years.....
I have made my share of mistakes ...I take full ownership of them as it was me that did it , that being said.... pad2pad did mess up 2 of my orders, once with hole size smaller than ordered, and the 2nd with silkscreen, not putting the o in the word 'commodore' on my boards...but both times pad2pad asked for pictures and immediately with NO hassle NO runarounds, offered to re run the boards for me ....that is what I call GREAT customer service!!!!
would I use pad2pad again????...well I am finishing up my next set of boards to order from them ...so YES I would
yes I could nitpick some small issues with the FREE software ...but it is FREE and EASY.......and pad2pad makes great improvements on every update
