RoHS PCB FAQs

JLCPCB ships PCBs from China to most countries in the world. We currently provide three different delivery methods, including DHL, Airmail and EMS.

DHL: There are some cities are remote areas for DHL shipping. If it happens to be your address, we will inform you by emailing you about it. Additionally, you can check DHL location by yourself here:  http://www.dhl.com/en/express/shipping/find_dhl_locations.html.

Airmail: We are not responsible for the delay, loss or damage stemming from shipments sent to an incorrect, invalid address or a correct address if your parcel shipped via registered air mail. 

Orders may end up being returned or abandoned or ruined for various reasons including: non-payment of tariffs, customs clearance delay, incorrect address, unclaimed at post office, etc. If a package is returned or failed to deliver, the customer will be contacted. The customer will have to pay for the re-shipping fee as well as returning shipping fee when it's returned. We try our best to assist customers when such situations happen. However, we are not accountable for the above mentioned cases.

The delivery time is based on the shipping method custmer selected. It always takes around 3-5 business days for DHL to deliver items to destination. For EMS, it takes around 7-15 business days. For registered Air mail, it often takes around 2-4 weeks.

However, the shipping time can be greatly influenced by following issues: extreme weather, post office delay, customs clearance, local protest, etc. In this case, we are incapable of guaranteeing a on-time delivery, but we will try our best to ensure the on-time shipping date of the order from our side.

We can ship PCBs to any countries. Shiping cost depends on the weight of the boards, different countries, and shipping methods. Before you pay, you can see the shipping cost and select the shipping method. So you just need to add it to your cart you will see some options like bellow image.

JLCPCB allows you to order many different PCB together, just add the PCB to cart one by one, at last pay for them together.

JLCPCB uses a group buy model to save the cost of production, for picking up your PCB easier, we need to add a very small string to your PCB, the string maybe under some IC, if you solder the PCB, the string will be hidden. For you don't like it. There are two ways.

1. Email to us, we will fabricate your PCB in another way, but the cost will be higher.

2. When you order, you can use https://JLCPCB.com/Doc/Tutorial/PCBOrderFAQ#Panel-by-JLCPCB and keep the edge, we will add the string at the dirty edge, so there is no string on your product PCB.

All PCBs undergo a 100% AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) to make sure that all tracks and pads are connected.
In addition to this the PCBs can be tested by a flying probe to make sure that all vias are connected, because this is not visible by the AOI. Single layer PCBs do not require this test because there are no vias but boards with 2 layers and above will always be 100% tested with a flying probe.
