KiCAD - sending a job to JLCPCB

cd KiCAD/emup/manu
zip ../emup.zip *

• JLCPCB

It shows me what looks like images of my board.

I try to use their Gerber Viewer and it wants me to sign in. There is some bug in their website new account thing.

I try again, using Company now instead of personal and calling my company "Toms Lab". They send me a confirmation code, I get it in my email, but when I submit it, it tells me that this email is taken.

I use their password reset and after a brief online chat and several tries I have managed to log in.

I call myself "Toms Lab". Now I see an "Order Now" button. This gives me the same form as the "Get Instant Quote".

I give it emup.zip again.

The gerber viewer works now. It comes up in a new browser tab.

I verify stuff in the form below, as follows:

Use FR-4 in 1.6mm thickness, 2 layers.
Green with white silkscreen is cheapest.
5 boards is the minimum order.

HASL is hot air surface leveling. He selects Pb-free HASL. They default to a new thing "OSP". I select HASL (with lead).
You can read about those options here:

I save to cart. Then I click on the tiny cart symbol at the top of the page. The give me a $10 coupon! It vanishes, then reappears at the final phase.

My total is $29.55 --- $4.06 for the boards, $19.25 shipping (UPS), $1.42 and $4.55 for "duties and taxes". $0.27 sales tax.

I pay with paypal. It shows status as "in production".
