    Testimonials

    “I have been using Advanced Circuits for years. I mainly used it in my previous job with Boeing on Maui. One of my coworkers there turned me on to your services. One of the big advantages to us was the free checks before we sent the boards for fab. This is still true as a major benefit. My two boards I just sent for fab had global issues with the soldermask and silk screen. I wouldn't have found the issues without your DFM tool.”

    “Absolutely unbelievable. Phenomenal. What else can I say? Our 2-day order ships in one day, and the 5-day ships in 2! The boards look excellent. In almost 30 years in this business, I've never seen anything like your service. You just obsoleted the phrase "expedited delivery" - this is more like "instant delivery". Everyone in the PCB business had better look at what Advanced Circuits is doing, or they won't be in business! However, it may not be such a good idea to spoil new customers like this, as we may come to expect the impossible. This is the kind of dramatic change that FedEx did with small package shipping. From the easy-to-use quoting and ordering process, to elimination of the tooling charge, to no sacrifice of quality, and your lightning-fast delivery, I'm actually looking forward to having to fab our next PCB design. Never thought I'd be saying that before I retire! Thanks very much, and wishing you and Advanced Circuits much success…”
