FreeEMS might end up "ching chong meow" like half the worlds failing turbochargers :-)

Good work Abe.

Same place, earlier email, something to keep in mind when laying out the board - these numbers are pretty typical, in fact, I've generally seen worse (like 10 mil)
Hi Abe,

The hole size less than 0.3mm, the trace/space less than 6mil, it need extra cost .

If you do a large qyt board ,we can provide a lower price .

For shipping to USA ,less than 0.5KG, the shipping cost is 30USD ,

more than 0.5kg, it add 8USD for each 0.5kg.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if any question .

Yes the Chinks all seem to boast about how cheap they can supply you.

Having looked at a number of things that have been produced there can indeed confirm that yes they are very cheap...

Interesting the quality is often good...

This normally applies to the first batch, but rarely to the subsequent batches..

They will also make the competitors products, and offer them to you..

Suppose it is just possible that they could also offer your product to others..

Greed is a powerful motivator...

Strange when a fellow walks into a Bar or a Brothel he rarely demands the cheapest...

I am SO glad that I can honestly say I've only done one of those things. Also glad that I DO drink :-)

Hell, I've never even been in a strip joint! Why pay or it when you can have it for free ;-) Paying seems like a statement that you can't pull a chic yourself!

I see the reference to the Chinese as "Chinks" or "ching chong meow" as derogatory, it is unnecessary, and has nothing to do with FreeEMS. The Chinese make good gear and cheap gear, I have seen good and bad PCB's from there, the worst ones I have seen were sold in a relay switch box marketed by a well-known US avionics company. The best one they ever made is in my mini-ecu : )

Now get back on track guys or retire to the lounge to continue your discussion about wine, girls, and all things wonderful : )

Careful, I never referred to the people at all, only the products. I'm yet to see a single product out of china that was 100% up to scratch. Many are good enough, but many are also not good enough. My reference was to Chinese made turbos which are fairly commonly called that due to their extremely low reliability and glued together compressor housings. It's worth noting that Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan are all in Asia too. You'll be hard pressed to get a low quality product of any sort out of Japan. The Japs are well educated and relatively civilised. China is still third world and it shows. I literally have dozens of Asian mates at home, and you might be shocked to hear them referring to their own kind with such labels. The reason for that is simple, there is a very real problem with both excess quantity of Asian immigrants and poor quality driving on international licenses. Both are the fault of the government though, not the individuals, but the problems exist all the same. One of my Asian friends was nearly killed by another one one night after lifting off mid corner in his prelude at about 140kph. He got lift off oversteer and went backwards into a concrete wall with such force most of the dash unclipped itself and flew backwards.
