It seems that they want to be able to revoke the $33 PROTO QTY offer at any
time, hence they keep it separate from all other business, including the
quote tool on their web site-intended for standard production quantity
orders. If you do significant business with them, they will send you coupons
from time to time offering free tooling on production orders.
Their production pricing is also super. I have had small quantities say from
50 to 200 pcs that I was afraid to have quoted. Small boards have come in at
$2 to $3 each. Has anyone herein gotten 50 pcs of any board at these kind of
prices?
There's no question that one has to be smart enough to figure out how to use
their system most advantageously, otherwise they will be glad to several
hundred dollars from you.
