Still caps are better than sending you a sharpie because they forgot the screen print .

My last order I used Itead they were not bad, maybe I will compare the price and give them a try, 30 days is about standard unless you want express mail, for me that means extra expense for brokerage, DHL et-al etc.

I ordered from them a while back. For the price it would have cost me for 3 boards at OSH park, I got 12 boards and I got to pick my PCB color! I was sort of getting sick of having purple PCBs everywhere. They aren't bad, I haven't soldered them together yet. I would do it again if I needed a lot of big boards for cheap, other wise I would still go with OSH park if you can keep everything under 1-2 sq inches.

I've used them a couple of times in the past with very good results. Give them a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The other good thing is you can send them a brd file straight out of Eagle.
Here's a little serial board for a Graphic LCD.

I see they are acting as brokers out of Muscatine Iowa.

Refreshingly honest. I bet many other vendors are also closed for business but don't bother telling actual/potential customers.

Actually, many Chinese companies will do this. They seem to be very proud of their New Year celebration.

Its a bit of a worry that Hotmail has banned there IP range lol, I got to try them just for a laugh

No biggie. My IP is black listed. I can't send from my mail server because the IP is blacklisted. I have to use verizon's server to send. Guess they will not block their own mail. Pretty much any IP I get from Verizon is black listed. They have huge blocks of black listed IPs for some reason.

I would bet if most people that have a dynamic IP, would check they would come up black listed on a list or two.

Most use a aervice., the you can check and see if your IP is banned and how to get it off the banned list.

Most of the time it is because YOU have been transmitting SPAM email or a virus.

They know what virus you've been sending and will ask what was the name of the virus on your computer. That is the confirmation they need to lift the ban.

That happened to me once and my IPP helped me out. That was a long time ago.

Some IPs in the block I most likely have never used. Just pick an IP and it shows blacklisted.

My bad its open................................

They just haven't taken the closed sign down yet!

[JoeJester]

If your IP is dynamic, then the YOU I mentioned gets a number much larger than 1.
