PCB - Buy Locally or ?

Hi,

I have made a primitive (small) circuit on my breadboard that I would like to use and offer to my HOA.

The circuit is a modification to an PIR that instead of tripping it's internal siren (not loud enough to wake me), it will trigger an external 12v siren I have purchased.

My question is:
Anyone have an opinion on whether I should order from one of my magazine ad's, or use a local supplier?
I'm favoring a local supplier (local is Charlotte, NC) www.americancircuits.com.

I have never ordered one and hope someone has some personal experience that would help me before placing an order.

Thanks for any help or guidance.

How many are you going to have made this time ?

if its for your personal use, academic project etc.. you can try the Toner transfer method instructables or hack a day or this video if you need more than 10 PCBs,you need the pcb to be clean, well printed, and green masked, its better ask for the local supplier.

I used Osh Park. It's very cheap for small boards and very high quality. You need to wait 3-4 weeks though.

magvitron's suggestion is good, you should check it what your requirement is. If you need to find a factory to fab, you could also ask for some quotes for comparation. Also if you consider oversea supplier, we will be glad to send you our offer for reference. We could arrange the delivery to your door.
