Hey @no1089 I had asked about this a while back and it sounded like there was going to be some progress on this but my topic was automatically closed after no more inputs.
Is there a plan to have p2 modules available at JLCPCB for incorporating into assemblies with them.
If not, do you have any guidance on how to do a part consignment to them.
thanks for any input you can provide.

Hi Kevin,
I'm following up with the team to check if we're in a position to guarantee shipments from within mainland China for consignment - which would be to only option unless they choose to stock P2 modules themselves.
Thanks Chris.
Hi Kevin,
We're waiting on a response, and I should have news by the end of the week.
@iitgrad Just letting you know we've not forgotten about this.
Our team in China is working on getting this sorted.
Awesome, thanks Chris @no1089
I've spoken to the team - there are some difficulties with getting our devices in stock at JLCPCB - mostly payments, parties involved, and customs.
The team will be addressing this, but it will be a while before it's possible.
Consignment is an option with JLCPCB - but I'm aware of their within mainland-China shipment restrictions, though they accepted a few Items I sent from Taiwan last year.
Hi Chris @no1089 We are going to run with attaching the entire photon 2 onto our custom board for now. Just an FYI.
100% - for now adding the P2/Photon after delivery is the only option - unless you get around the consignment caveats.
The team is aware and will work towards getting this over the line, but there are a few hurdles left.
@no1089 Any progress on this?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, no. The project has stalled due to the regulation complexities involved.
I've pinged the relevant teams and they are looking into it; a discussion is planned for next week, and we'll hopefully have one of two results: direct stock in LCSCs warehouse, or a consignment option. (currently unavailable due to the "ship from mainland China" restriction).
