PCBWay Reviews 221

acts and feels like a scam company! 2 orders cancelled but no refund ! Other companies have an auto refund policy when orders cancelled but this company keeps the money and refers you to sameone called Zoe instead! no replies and chat support service close as soon as you challange them!

It was my first expirince with PCB way,
I ordered 5pcs of scheme for my devices, usually Im afraid of sites somewhere not from my country, becouse in case of anything you cannot garantee that you can reach seller for money back, but in this case the money was garanteed by independent paying system.

The quality of boards was amazing good, I did 1.5mm lines, without any breaks, my ic working well. so my ic 3*3mm and I was worry about soldering.

Thanks PCB way, that you exists! I cannot imagine how I would do my scheme without you, it is completely immpossible to do something at home.

You can trust it.

EDIT: everything in this scumbag companies reply is a pack of lies, the very same lies and gaslighting I complained of in the first place. Its laughable they think they'll continue getting away with such flagrant and massive scams when they're operating in a country already under heavy tarriffs. The very same country with some extremely harsh laws against corruption.

This company is the worst. I've ordered pcb's and 3D prints from them several times and I should've quit the 2nd time around. In that instance they kept delaying cause of their own screwups on simple small 2 sided pcb's. The same pcb's they did for me the previous occasion. Kept harassing me with same questions over and over and they were irrelevent gibberish questions that made no sense. The 3D prints are of horrible quality, printed at temperatures way to hot and never used a slicer which even a noob like me knows about. But lately I'd ordered some pcb's for upgrading ram in an old computer which is now ruined as the design hosted on their site was untested and in fact as I found out much later it was very incomplete and was impossible to work. Worst part is that was never disclosed it was an inferior incomplete and untested design. I reported it but all they've done is lie lie lie and gaslight gaslight gaslight. Then they promised to cover my next order which is a bald faced lie and they also promised to remove that and another project they host which are both non functional and they know it but found out today they did no such thing so they lied again. That's even worse as others will buy these "products" in future and end up with ruined equipment like I did. Frankly this is a 100% scummy operation that absolutely doesn't care about those who keep them employed, namely us the paying customers.

PS. I've also discovered much too late that much of the products listed on their site for sale that they do build are not their own and in fact stolen designs from others who never gave permission. And PCBway certainly isn't paying royalties for any of the hundreds of products they've so brazenly ripped off.

Excellent experience with PCBWay, Very professional support, thanks Liam. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they were flexible and helpful when adjustments were needed

The customer service was very helpful and clear, and they worked to find the components I needed and prepare the boards as soon as possible. They arrived soon after, in good condition.

PCBWay consistently delivers excellent quality. The boards arrive with clean finishes, precise routing, and reliable performance. Their production times are impressively fast, often beating expectations without sacrificing care or consistency. What truly completes the experience is their customer support. They respond quickly, solve issues with clarity, and make the whole process feel smooth and professional.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants dependable manufacturing and a team that genuinely supports its customers.

Provided me with fifteen quality boards and was patient and kind when I thought they were faulty even though it was my batteries.

They are scammers, they took money and never sent me PCB please don't buy PCB from them

This company is scam, dont buy anything from them, didn't delivers and neither refunded me money very very upset

Wanted to give them negative reviews, never received product as well they told me will refund me money, but its all scam, dont believe this scammers.

Never received my products. They have shown out for delivery for over a month, and they just keep telling me that “they have reached out to the shipper for a resolution”. The delay cost me time and a lot of money on a custom project I was building for a customer.

Outstanding supplier of all services and materials related to prototyping electronics. I used PCBWAY for PCB boards, Assembly, 3D printing, and custom metal work. They did a perfect job, delivered quickly and were extremely affordable. I love PCBWAY!

The PCBs that PCBWay has fabbed for me have all been of the highest standard. More important in some ways, though, has been the excellent customer service, which included working with me to fix issues with the files I submitted, and sending photographs of boards to confirm component placement before proceeding with assembly. Very interactive and responsive.

I order around 30 PCBs for a personal project, which were very thin and with small components. The quality of the board and the sharpness of the silkscreen and soldermask layer were perfect. I really like how professional the board look. Fully recommend it.

constant spam of their products on everythingI watch, yes this does constitute a bad review... fu

I've been using PCBWay for many years now, and they made more than 30 different pcb's for me. I've never been disappointed, the quality was always good. There never was a pcb with a short or other malfunction. I recommend PCBWay for all your pcb's.

I built a homemade retro CPU using classic 74-series DIP logic chips and wire-wrap construction — a true retro tech project — and documented everything on GitHub (fortinsylvain/MyCpu). When it came time to fabricate the custom PCB, I turned to PCBWay — and the experience was outstanding. I'm happy to share my experience here.
First, I transferred my handwritten schematic into KiCad and completed the routing for each component. When it came time to submit the design, I was impressed by PCBWay’s one-click KiCad integration — all design files were automatically submitted to the factory with a single click. No file packaging, no ZIP uploads — just click and go!
The ordering process was fast and seamless. The web interface was intuitive and transparent, allowing me to track each step of the production process in real time. The PCBs arrived astonishingly quickly, properly boxed and well-protected. Although I ordered 5 boards, PCBWay generously included 6 — a thoughtful bonus!
The boards had a clear silkscreen, precise solder mask, and excellent overall build quality. The soldering process went smoothly, and on first power-on, the board worked! The transfer from wire-wrap prototype to professional PCB was a complete success.
I also discovered a strong online community around PCBWay, full of shared open-source hardware projects — very inspiring!
Huge thanks to the team at PCBWay for helping bring my dream project to life. I’ll definitely be back for future builds!

PCBWay reached out to me after seeing my Contrib Cal project. They ended up sponsoring me and sent over free PCBs that I designed, which turned out perfect. Their boards elevated my project and gave it a much more professional look. I’d highly recommend working with them. Their prices are reasonable, and the quality is very nice.

I've placed several orders with PCBWay, and every time the experience has been outstanding. The PCB quality is excellent, manufacturing and shipping are impressively fast—even with economy options—and the overall service is highly professional.

PCBWay has become a key partner in the development of my embedded and IoT projects. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for fast, dependable, and affordable PCB manufacturing...

I had a recent project done with PCBWAY and the delivered PCBs had a defect. After contacting their agents I got a replacement for free!
