Re: iTead PCB EOL now JLCPCB
I used iTead for one of my products and was very pleased with the quality, build time and DHL delivery. It's unfortunate they've left the market.
The few reviews I scanned on JLC PCB were positive - they might be worth a try. https://jlcpcb.com/
I normally use ExpressPCB which provide Gerbers (at no charge) but won't fab from Gerbers.
Their parent company Sunstone does and apparently Sunstone/ExpressPCB have a related company for low volume Gerber runs known as EasyPCBUSA. https://easypcbusa.com/
Sunstone and its spinoffs all use the same production facilities and have fantastic quality and support but they'll definitely be more expensive than iTead was.

Re: iTead PCB EOL now JLCPCB
Im glad you pointed out Easypcb. I never found them in a search before. I might try them for my current project rather than be locked into a fixed quantity I usually get with Oshpark, and they wont be purple. I used to work for a local PCB shop here; I miss the days of harsh chemicals, FR4 dust and hot and humid photo imaging rooms.
