I've seen hobbyists use JLC PCB in the past for low quantity runs and the quality always seems astounding with relatively quick turnaround times (several days). https://jlcpcb.com/
Looks like they do SMT mount now too which wasn't the case last time I looked at their offering.
FWIW PCBWay generally gets my weekend orders to me within the week, and costs about the same as JLC ($5 for 5 boards plus $15 shipping). In some cases I've put an order in on Friday night and gotten them on Tuesday.
Yeah, shipping in the US is much faster. Here in Greece you have to pay 3 euros minimum on shipping charges and shipping from anywhere in the EU will take at least a week.
