Similar Question on PCB Purchasing
I didnt notice your thread...(newbie)...
I have a similar question about whether to buy locally or overseas or use one of my magazine ads...
I have a local supplier (wont mention name because I posted elsewhere), but one of their claims to fame is exactly what you are talking about...one stop shopping, which is pretty attractive to me. My need is so small though that I wanted to see what others are doing before I jump in.
