Canadian PCB Manufacturers?

[zelcanada]

No shade to my American neighbors (note the lack of "u" ), but with tariffs (and the US dollar), it's getting harder and harder to get things into Canada. Does anyone know of any PCB manufacturers in Canada? It seems like Oshpark is the US go-to, whereas I saw a lot of buzz around JLCPCB out of China as well.

Any Canadians find a "local" manufacturer?

No offense taken, we don't buy PCBs from us either.

I can't even get guitar strings locally.

Doesn't Dead End FX ship from Canada?

I'm in Canada and my "local" PCB manufacturer is JLCPCB.

I don't know... That's why I'm asking

I'm in Canada. There are pcb manufacturers here, but mostly big business. I don't know of any that would do small runs of pedal fx, at least at less than or on par with the cost / shipping from jlcpcb / pcbway etc.

I usually use jlcpcb to order diy boards that don't have a vendor, and am still getting pcb's from Us and Europe vendors customs free when shipped through snail mail, or maybe I've just been lucky?. There is or was a festival (butterfly?) somewhere in Asia that might be affecting production time.

Ah, so if you want custom PCB makers (like PCBWay, etc), then Dead End FX isn't in that market.
But Dead End FX does make PCBs of guitar effects much like what PedalPCB does, and they do ship from Canada.

Not exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll still check them out

Yeah, DEFX and JMK are based in Canada, but that doesn't mean the PCBs they proffer are made in Canada.


What bugs me is when I buy from a Canadian PCB-vendor and they charge in USD AFTER they've found out I'm also in Canada (Not DEFX nor JMK, btw).
So, it costs me money to change from Canadian$ to an other currency that they're in turn going to be charged money to change it back into Canadian$. Are they stupid, or do they have some side-business deal going with the money-changers...?
