The boards will be ordered from EuroCircuits.
The actual cost depends on the number of participants. The more people join, the cheaper the boards are. The estimated cost is:
* £3/PCB (approx $5.5/PCB) if 50 PCBs are ordered.
* £2/PCB (approx $3.7/PCB) if 100 PCBs are ordered.
* £1.7/PCB (approx $3.1/PCB) if 150 PCBs are ordered.
* £1.5/PCB (approx $2.7/PCB) if 200 PCBs are ordered.
The final price is £1.5/PCB (approx $2.7/PCB)
All payments are to be made via PayPal only. Credit cards are accepted.
PCBs will be sent to your PayPal postal address in a bubble envelope by airmail. Make sure that your PayPal postal address is accurate. Typical delivery time is about 5-6 working days.
P&P will be £2.5 to all destinations for quantities <= 8 PCBs. Anything more than that may require a larger envelope or a sturdy box incurring additional charges. If your shipment is lost or damaged during transit, the cost of your order will not be reimbursed. If you require insured and trackable service, please state so in your email when ordering the boards. I will provide you with a quote on request.
Disclaimer. While the DAC has been prototyped and there are no known outstanding issues with the design, there is always a chance that things go wrong. If you order the boards, you do it at your own risk. You will not be reimbursed if your DAC does not work for any reason.
