Good source for custom printed enclosures? And not Mammoth

I'm looking for a good place to get a small run of custom printed enclosures. Anyone have a good experience with a company? I can't get Mammoth to reply to e-mails so I've ruled them out. I sent a very simple inquiry along with my design and got an email ten days later saying it was received by the wrong guy and being forwarded to the right guy. Six days later and still no response. I even sent an email saying I really wanted to order the enclosures and wanted to know if my design was ok so I could place the order (Take my money!) Still no answer. Me + Mammoth = Done.

PPP does small runs of printed enclosures.  Though I haven't used them for it specifically, I've always had better experiences and quality with PPP than Mammoth.  Pretty sure Jacob used them for a couple of builds, I know he and I talked about it last year.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I agree, I like Mammoth because they stock a lot of what I need, but they are VERY unresponsive. The only way I can get to them is by calling multiple times.

I had a similar experience with mammoth not returning email/phone calls.
I eventually posted something on their facebook wall(after trying to contact them for over 4 weeks), and they got back to me within 30 minute and the issue was resolved shortly after. I still have not purchased something from them since.

TLDR: try contacting mammoth though their facebook page for a quicker response.

I think they are back to doing one-offs. It appears that they are charging a flat $20 fee for 1-5 enclosures. Sheez - with some of the f-ups I've had with finishing enclosures, I'd gladly give someone 20 bucks to do it for me.  ::)

Yeah , they seem to have changed their policy back.

I had four boxes made a short while back and the pricing matched the structure you posted.

Early on I had a good long phone conversation with Connnie about this. They ha always intended this to be a service for the DIY community, to do one offs and small batches.

At first the orders that came in showed them how much bigger an idea this was than they imagined. They were sold on the ease and simplicity of the machine, but it proved to be more complicated and difficult than anticipated. Point being, it's taken some time and experimentation and they're now doing what they hoped. They have good staff who now know the machines, they've worked out the kinks of getting graphics of all sorts of programs and formats into the machine, and they've cut the time down to a point where it's cost effective to do one offs.

I'm happy to have had the opportunity to help work out some of those kinks, and I highly recommend going with PPP.
