JLCPCB.com – The best value for money PCB Service in 2017

https://jlcpcb.com/

TLDR

$2 for 10 boards
$9 for stencil
$25 for DHL

Currently probably the cheapest on the market.

3 working days between order and shipping.

Zero flaws or problems even with the lowest possible clearances.

Absolutely worth trying!
