Has anyone used Furturlec for PCB's?

I just saw that Futurlec offers PCB design as well as manufacturing. The prices look good but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? Thanks.

Just to clarify - AFAIK, Futurlec are in Thailand, not Australia. If their service is a little inconsistent it can perhaps be summarised with the Thai phrase 'mai pen rai':

This is a phrase / philosophy that can cause Westnerners a great deal of frustration and anger, believe me. :)

If thats the case, then why are thai men so unhappy?

One bad translation deserves another.

I haven't looked at the link, but 'mai pen rai' has nothing to do with 'happiness'. Most Thai's I've come across seemed to be no more unhappy or happy than any Westerner, however they often have a much more relaxed outlook on life. Hence what I'm trying to say about Futurlec - maybe it is managed by Westerners (maybe) but sounds to me like a 'typical' Thai company (not meant to be a negative statement, BTW).

After my various trips to Thailand, worrying about visiting a 'gay' website is the least of my concerns ... at least with gay Thais you can tell they are.  :icon_lol: It's the katooeys you have to watch out for!

Oh ... for an alternative 'cheap' PCB maker, do a search for my custompcb / Malaysia thread

(there, that oughta do it) :)

Futurles contracts out its PCB manufacturing. Hence the variability. Plenty MORE info on futurelec (and every other PCB manufacturer in the world) can be foud by searching google groups.
