For those who have tried getting online quotes from PCB vendors (i.e. for design or fabrication),
may I know your feedback from doing this?
I personally have not tried sending a request for quote on the PCB vendor’s website but I am interested though quite hesistant in this process. I usually send a request for quotation directly to the vendor thru email. I’m just curious on getting quotes online.
What are the pro’s and con’s of this process?
Interesting question. I have had better luck dealing with an actual sales rep instead of using the instant online pcb quote forms. I feel better when I send my Gerbers directly into the company in order for them to fully review the design. I like that because I don’t get in price surprises. So far, I have used a couple of PCB companies depending on what kind of boards I need. For quick turns, I have been using Custom Circuit Boards and for simple prototypes and longer lead times I have been using Batch PCB and Pad2Pad. They all have been great and I recommend all three PCB companies. 
I have sent quotes to online vendors and luckily recieved the answer for them on time. Therefore, my feedback is absolutely positive.

I think the online offer is still more convenient. Because waiting for an email is a long process.
Online quotes can immediately know the approximate price.
If you have more questions about the order need to consult, then send e-mail is still better.
I am using WellPCB manufacturers, their online quotes are convenient so that I could quickly know my budget.
I prefer offline pcb fabrication quote because online can not quote HDI printed circuit boards, but only simple boards.
Of course, online quotes just know about the budget.
If it is HDI circuit board to send e-mail inquiry offer is better.
