If your getting X’s, why bother? Every PCB place I’ve dealt with tells you test rate and success rate (nominal 95% not factoring in specifics of the PCB). For a prototype run, you are effective guaranteed 4.95x good PCB out of 5 Minimum order. 50% e testing means you still got two out of five.

Your “every place” doesn’t fall in the same bin as JLCPCB or PCBWay and similar outfits.

I’ve done tons of PCB prototypes at JLCPCB and all you’ll ever receive is blue box, a plastic bag with the PCBs and sometimes a keychain.

There’s never a test report.

That’s why it $2 for 5 PCB, shipped to you within 48 hours after placing the order.
