There was confusion between the economy and express service. I sent the job to the wrong place and lost a few days. The brand X company would handle this seamlessly.

No Problems with Hubs

No Problems. Anita Ayavong was responsive, Hubs Network delivered as promised, on time, parts look good, and I felt that the pricing was reasonable. ★★★★★

Different story for local Protolabs. It took two days to get a quote back (unacceptable) and the eventual pricing for one part was equal to four from Network. Not impressed here. ☹☹☹☹☹

no issue with the service but the apps can be confusing.

However, the differences between the ProtoLabs app and the ProtoLabs Network app. make it a bit confusing at first when you are used to one and you need to use the other.

ProtoLabs and their Network are a great fabrication resource.

ProtoLabs and their Network are a great source for 3D Printing, CNC Machining, and other fabrication processes. Their prices and lead-times are competitive and dependable. Additionally, they have great customer service and the knowledge base on their website is an excellent source for selecting materials and designing for manufacturability.

Order Delays, Revised Pricing, and Missed Expectations

We requested a quotation for specific components and placed our order on 17 July 2026, based on a quoted lead time of 22 working days. Although this timeline was already extremely tight for our project requirements, it was still manageable.

Nearly three weeks into the process, we contacted the company for a progress update to ensure production was on schedule. We were very disappointed to learn that the order had not yet entered production. Instead, we were presented with a revised quotation that included a 45% price increase and an extended lead time of 30 working days.

This unexpected change has caused a significant delay to our project, resulting in considerable financial impact and putting our company's reputation at risk with our own customers.

I was impressed with the ease of ordering and the turn-around time. The parts are currently undergoing testing/evaluation, and if all goes well I intend to reorder.

Overcharged for one piece when I thought I was ordering 8 pieces. Went somewhere else to complete the order at a significant savings.

Ordering was clear and fast, part arrived before it was scheduled, part was very clean and useable upon arrival without any fine tuning on my part.

There were delays in your process.

There were delays in your process.
The build lines on the model were very pronounced.
There were offset line on both legs and trunk of the figure model.
This model took more time to finish than any other printed model using the same material and process.
I would have complained, but determined that it would have delayed my process further.

Products didn't come in spec after assurance that the specs were attainable after an initial standard Protolabs order came in out of spec. Return/refund process was slow. Not real likely to use this service again.

We're very frustrated with how this order was handled

We're frustrated with how this has been handled. We were shipped damaged parts, rejected 8/18 pieces for damage, submitted our rejection reports and photos, and held a call to review next steps that no one from Protolabs attended. Since then, we've been redirected to a self-service dispute form instead of getting a substantive response. With our excellent relationship over the past few years, this is very disappointing.
