Expedited Service now available for BatchPCB orders!!!!!!

Today we are rolling out a new function for BatchPCB customers. Now you can have your order expedited, changing the lead time from 2-3 weeks to 1 to 1 1/2 weeks or less. There are a few steps that need to take place in order for you to get your BatchPCB order expedited. Once you have made the order, email Support@batchpcb.com immediately with your Order # and a message telling us that you would like to have your order expedited. (DO NOT PUT THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ORDER NOTES, YOU MUST EMAIL US). We will then make the adjusted charge via the payment method you chose for the order. Depending on the initial volume of expedited orders, we expect the expedited panels to get sent out for processing 1 to 2 times a week, Monday through Friday. Either way an expedited panel will go out once a week guaranteed. Below are the details of the costs of getting your order expedited. Hopefully we can start rolling out expedited panels everyday!

Order Size (Square Inches) Expedited Price

15 " or less $10.00

30" or less $20.00

45" or less $30.00

60" or less $40.00

75" or less $50.00

90" or less $60.00

100" or more $85.00

Which steps are different in an expedited order?

You need to email us at Support@batchpcb.com to tell us you want the order expedited. Other than that you make the same steps you normally do when ordering.

I got that part; what I’m asking is: What does BATCHPCB do differently to decrease the overall time?

They presumably don’t wait until a panel is full before sending it off

Can I expedite a 4 layer?

We are working on getting an expedited function for 4 Layer orders. I will post on here as soon as we have a function available.

What is different for a expedited order?

Otherwise thanks opportunity for low cost PCB fab.

Edit: Looks like the shipped boards are catching up, just wondering what was different for expedited orders since mine is just inline with the rest.
