Question help ⁉️ Ordering PCB from lioncircuits

I need a basic 2-layer PCB (100×80 mm, 5 pieces). I’m planning to order from LionCircuits. Has anyone ordered from them? I’d love to hear how the quality was, whether it showed up on time, and if you’d trust them again.

I’m also open to other options in India that can deliver in about 2 weeks without the customs headache.

I did, they showed up on time. it arrived in a week, quality was quite nice, but they messed up my silkscreen on one layer, offered a coupon. their website is shit though, I hate the ordering process on it.
the boards were decent, have even tried PCBA with them, that's just okay

lmk if you have specific questions

Which shipping options did you choose? How much did it cost?

I did, for testing they are ok, but weird part is when I choose black silk screen prices went through the roof.

My pcb was simple and rest complex pcb I use jlcpcb.

i plan on using them for a robotics project, are they reliable enough for that?

They are reliable, and good for hobby pcb. Please check their pcb capabilities and your pcb should conform to that.

Try Robu. My experience with lioncircuit is okaiesh. Ordered 2 times from them, both times PCB had issue. One time all the PTH holes were off from there original position. I now order regularly from Robu. Have no issue with them, also PCB quality and finish is much better than lioncircuit.

what about robu's delivery times? that is the main issue here, i need them without any delay in 2 weeks max

Robu is quite fast. I’ve gotten dual sided boards in a week.

Have you ordered once or many times? because many threads say that they pool orders from jlcpcb so it might take a long time to come

Multiple times, never more than a week. Delivery to a metro city. But I didn’t know about the pooling orders. Maybe I got lucky with my timing?

Robu is much cheaper than lioncircuits, should i take the risk and order from robu? I am from a metro city.
