How ordering works
Five steps from a design file to a documented delivery from Thailand. Every recording on this page is the real site.
- No account needed to send an enquiry
- A reply to an enquiry within two working days
- You pay the plant directly
Prepare the specification
Open a Gerber ZIP or a drawing image, or type the values. The board beside the form follows what you enter, and the list shows the Thai plants whose published capability covers it.
- On record
- The specification and a fingerprint of the source file.
- Private
- The Gerber file is read on your device and is not uploaded.
Receive quotes
Shortlist the plants that fit and send them the request, already filled in from your form, or publish it for any Thai plant to answer. Plants submit their own quotes: compare the cost per board, tooling, freight, lead time and exceptions, then open a room from the one you prefer.
- On record
- The published request and every quote received.
- Private
- Details marked private open only for plants that sign the online NDA.
The quotes are samples from fictional companies
Agree the technical details
Open a private room from a quote to discuss plant location, capability, file revisions and exceptions. The room holds a document vault, chat, quote history and specification locks for both parties to confirm. No payment is due when a room opens.
- On record
- Chat, quote history, document vault and the locked specification.
- Private
- A room can be switched to end-to-end encryption, which seals chat and files in the browser.

Sign the contract
The room’s specification snapshot and agreed lines carry into the contract. Review the commercial terms, production milestones and acceptance evidence, then sign. Later changes go through contract amendments, so the record stays traceable.
- On record
- The contract, built from the room's agreed snapshot, with both signatures.
- Private
- The contract is visible to the two parties only.

Track production and delivery
Each order has its own page: its status, the board as specified, and the 4 × 4 label that links every package to the order. On delivery, compare the label on the box with the one on file. Inspection results and invoices are recorded on the contract.
- On record
- Milestones, documents and delivery evidence, each package linked to the order.
- Private
- MPBxChange does not collect, hold or release order payments.

Who does what
At each step, what you provide, what MPBxChange keeps on record, and what the plant provides.
| Step | You, the buyer | MPBxChange keeps | The Thai plant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Describe the board | Drawing and requirements | The specification and the file's fingerprint | Nothing yet |
| Get quotes | The request | The request and every quote | Its quote |
| Agree the details | Files and questions | Chat, files and the locked specification | Answers and confirmation |
| Sign the contract | Signature | The signed contract | Signature |
| Follow the order | Inspection and acceptance | Inspection results, invoices and delivery evidence | Production and shipment |
| Payment | Pays the plant directly | Records invoices and payment reports. Never holds the money. | Receives the payment |
What MPBxChange does not do
It does not hold your money
The buyer pays the plant directly. MPBxChange records the invoices and the payment reports.
It does not open what you seal
Your Gerber file stays on your device. Private details open only for plants that sign the NDA, and an encrypted room is sealed in the browser.
It does not answer for the plants
Plants listed from public research take part when they choose to respond. Every quote is the plant's own.
