I'm guessing you chose Hard Gold for the edge connector, and that would increase the price a lot. You can use regular ENIG. Other than that I'm not sure why the price would be that high.
The milling statement does not apply to the MBC5 boards, only MBC3.
I'll attempt to make the instructions clearer.

Will be more than happy to provide a PR with improved documentation for this. (e.g. for that quote i've also missed the note about the milling layer because it's somewhere hidden in the other repo 🙈 )
I guess I've chosen one or more wrong options because my quote for 5 PCBs went from initially $65 to over $ 123 after the check. They also changed the size with the following message:
:Width['15.3' was changed to '53'];:Length['49' was changed to '62'];
This seems a little bit strange as i did not upload the files by myself.

No, surface finish and edge connectors are both in immersion gold. (also listed in the details posted above) I did reach out to pcbways and asked them why the pricing is so expensive. Maybe they have a clue. will report back as soon as i get their response
@kannix did you ever heard back from PCBWay?
