I am having problems at this moment getting my Power Board PCB’s made and sent to me.

It seems that DHL (France department) are behaving like gangsters, and insisting on all sort of extra charges before they will actually deliver to me.

My normal PCB manufacturer, ShenZhen2U in China, insist on using DHL.

As these PCB boards are A4 size, large and use the thicker 2oz copper and are expensive, its difficult to find a European supplier.

Its just not cost effective any more as 20 boards is around $400 US.

For those of you that have my email address, i can send you the XGerber files.
Everything is possible, just give me time.

JLCPCB lets you choose 4 different shipping options, including DHL which is the most expensive but fastest.
I always choose their cheapest option, it takes a few days longer but (for me) the cost is more on par with the cost of the PCB's.

If you order components (right after you placed the PCB order) from their sister company LCSC the shipping for both is free, at least to Australia.
Read the fine print as to how they ship to Europa.
