I'm not talking about assembly services, I'm only talking about PCB fabrication. When ten boards cost $10, paying $100 for one is too expensive, yes. I can just pay the extra $20 and get the faster shipping option.

https://www.pcbzone.net/User/QuoteArea.aspx?type=cal check that out.. you can get say 5 PCB's that are 25mm x 25mm 4 layers for ~50 euros. yea maybe one day it'll be free shipping at $10 for one board. But until then its more like minimum of $50 plus shipping for a small number of boards.

I tend to use dirtypcbs, which I don't think is the cheapest around anymore - maybe try https://www.seeedstudio.com/fusion_pcb.html too.

A batch of 12 (2-layer, 1oz, 6,6mil, roughly 5x10cm) boards I got made a couple weeks ago, which were a rush order DHL shipped to New Zealand, totalled roughly $60USD. Without rush processing and quick shipping, I think the same thing would've been a little over $20.

Seeed looks good, they offer a $1 for 3 deal, which with DHL 1-3 day shipping comes out to $34. Pretty decent, thanks.
