Is it in their interest to do so! In the UK there's PCB Train: http://www.pcbtrain.co.uk/ They at least have a web interface that'll immediately generate a quote for you, and take design submissions through the website. A number of friends and myself have used them fairly regularly. Their express service is extremely useful and cheap! The one thing that you should make sure you're aware of is that paying the extra for electrical test is going to be worth it. PCB Train will sell (and I'm sure other manufacturers will too) you boards that haven't been electrically tested, which I've been stung by in past. It's not pleasant having to manually beep every via on a board with a multi-meter! Rob
