*I* didn't order the boards from EPB,  my friend did, and for simplicity I
just said "I had a problem"  Some of the holes weren't lined up properly
IIRC.  The boards I've had made from Gold Phoenix have been perfect each
time.  The problem might have just been a one time mistake,  or user error
(on either part),  but with things like PCBs which can cost quite a bit, I'd
rather not take chances.
If their record is as good as you say, I'll take your word for it, but
better safe then sorry ;)
