Order items from: [webshop]
Automatic payments
The order is completed after the payment: do not forget to return to the shop when the payment is done: click to "Finalize Order" / "Return to shopping" button. The final order is created at this point (without this step, it will be harder for the shop crew to track your ordered items)
- Visa / Mastercard Credit/debit card AVAILABLE NOW. Clearly the best option below 200 USD Also, for EU customers (upto 800..1000 USD) who cannot provide valid EU-VAT-ID
- the card is charged in USD, which means less conversion costs (because of how VISA works) and effectively slightly less charge drawn than if drawn in display currency (eg. SEK)
- note the +1.8% surcharge for transaction cost (choose IBAN for large value)
- for USA customers, will be available only later in 2006, sorry.
- if you have a special discount, or selected "check/money order" for other reason, but want to pay with card, a link similar to https://payments.verisign.com/payflowlink?LOGIN=acmvus&PARTNER=VeriSign&TYPE=S&AMOUNT=876&DESCRIPTION=OID666 can be used. The shop crew will help adjust the link, because AMOUNT must be in USD currency (the example is for 876 USD payment). To make payment routing easier, OID666 should be updated to the actual order-ID, preferrably the order-ID of the largest value order if paying several orders with the same transaction (in this case, subtract the packaging cost for all but one order).
- "ikobo"
- "moneybooker"
- "paypal"
Ikobo/moneybooker/paypal are referred to as "internet" payment (or email payment).
"Manual" payments => "Check / money order option"
Order can be checked out with "no payment" at the moment; Payment is usually bank transfer. See the "wire transfer matrix" below.
- Wire transfer/IBAN/BIC/Swift to XDSL Ltd Hungary. The most preferred of all, since it's the safest, best cost (except for the smallest purchases below 20 Euro total value). It works worldwide. Note that for EU customers, only an option if a valid EU-VAT-ID is provided (Hungarian customers must pay +20% VAT). Basically the only option for distributors who get serious discount.
- prefer to transfer in your native currency if one of AUD,CAD,CHF,CZK,DKK,EUR,GBP,HUF,JPY,NOK,PLN,SEK,SKK,USD. This saves you from commission and fee hidden in exchange rates: transferring EURO has no advantage compared to above currencies
- only the most frequently used currencies can be chosen in the shop for display, but you can convert to any other currency using mid-exchange rate from [supported currencies and uptodate exchange rates of Hungarian National Bank]. For example 100 Euro would be 100 * Eurovalue / Sekvalue = 100 * 251.04 / 26.4 = 950 SEK (old exchangerate, but you get the idea)
- Wire transfer/BIC/Swift to ACMV LLC, USA. More expensive than IBAN to XDSL Ltd, appr. 8 Euro on sending and 16 USD on receiving side. Prefer USD currency. Not available for USA customers.
Ask about them - if there is a good reason...
- "Check" (USA only)
- "Money order" not well tested. Not recommended in USA
- barter (sw, hw, firmware developers, doc contributors)
Several orders (eg. your orders, or yours and your friend's) can be paid with 1 transfer.
You are welcome to write payment info (as a reply to the checkout or state-change email from "x-store") to help linking payment and order info (especially if the payment comes from your friend, or several orders paid together). Linking payment to order is normally smooth using name, country, value, date, orderid, etc... data.
Choose Assembled controller first - with the options you need, of course
The assembled controller usually takes 3..6 working days to customize to your options (and test, package). Here is how you can get all your items ASAP, and still have more time to fine-tune the other items/quantities.
- Try to define the necessary options for the assembled controller as early as possible, and post it as an order
- preferrably include EC36-wire and EC18-wire or EC36-harness and EC18-harness
- preferrably write "Order of small parts will follow in 5 days" in the order note, so the shop crew will pack it together (should the assembled controller be completed before your new order is fired, they wait).
- You'll need a second order for the other parts, but you can subtract the 5 Euro P/P cost from the second order. With automated payment like paypal (that does not let you control the transfer value), write a few items (of appr. 3..7 Euro value, like 3 pieces of 2pin injector connectors) in the order note (so you don't pay for those)
This only applies to the assembled controller, not to bare genboard. Note that even resellers buy assembled controllers these days, except in rare cases of (usually problematic anyway) plug-n-play installs.
Payment destination/method matrix
Depends on the location of customer, and order value (note that value overlaps between neighboring lines).
USA customers
| Value (USD) | Invoice issuer (payment destination) |
| 6..990 | email to XDSL Ltd |
| 700..99999 | IBAN/wire to XDSL Ltd |
EU customers
It depends if the customer company has EU-VAT-ID (individuals never have). EU customers are encouraged to provide valid Company EU-VAT-ID. The EU-VAT-ID starts with the 2 letter country code like SE or FI: [verify EU-VAT-ID here]
- Any company can use controller computer parts (or computer or computer parts) invoices to decrease tax. Small companies are usually happy about it (even with the slight administration overhead: they might want to transfer from the company bank account)
- Hint: EU-VAT-ID is independent from the shipping address, we only check if the EU-VAT-ID is valid at all, and the country, not the company name
| Value (EURO) | individual,or company without EU-VAT-ID | company with EU-VAT-ID |
| 6..100 | card/email to ACMV LLC | card/email to ACMV LLC or IBAN/email to XDSL Ltd |
| 20..1000 | card/email to ACMV LLC | IBAN/email to XDSL Ltd or card/email to ACMV LLC |
| 800..99999 | wire to ACMV LLC | IBAN to XDSL Ltd |
"or" means either is allowed, but the bold is preferred (cheaper, faster)
Hungary - though in EU, Hungary is special
- card/email/wire transfer to ACMV LLC is possible
- domestic bank transfer to XDSL Ltd: invoice includes +20% VAT, which must be paid
- cash or money order possible, write your wish in order note
Elsewhere (not USA, not EU). Note that Canada belongs to this category
| Value (USD) | payment destination/invoice issuer |
| 6..900 | card/email to ACMV LLC |
| 100..99999 | IBAN to XDSL Ltd |
IBAN/Swift/BIC transfer to XDSL Ltd.
EU customers who transfer to XDSL Ltd either
- must _provide_ a valid EU-VAT-ID - read the hint above
- or pay extra +20% for VAT. Invoice will include 20% VAT.
- Since +20% hurts, EU individuals and EU companies without EU-VAT-ID want to pay to ACMV LLC (card for low value, wire above 800..1000 USD).
For non-EU customers (USA, Australia, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, etc... basically, most of the world) transfer to XDSL Ltd is the best option, especially above 500..800 USD.\n

Wire transfer to ACMV LLC, USA (not IBAN)
Warning: USA customers (either individual or company) MUST NOT transfer to ACMV LLC, USA! For USA customers (either individual or company) the only option for wire transfer is XDSL Ltd Hungary (see above)
This is currently the only wire-transfer option for EU individuals and EU companies without EU-VAT-ID.
EU companies with EU-VAT-ID, and companies/individuals located elsewhere (not in EU and not in USA) must transfer to XDSL Ltd Hungary instead.
- US Bank Account for ACMV, LLC
- The shop crew will let you know the account number if you choose IBAN/wire transfer in the order (or if you ask).
- Note that these companies rarely issue checks so the banks contact the company immediately for every single check, before depositing. One person who tried to issue a fake check is already in prison.
Globalization - Import tax
Sometimes packs are sent (split to max 2kg mails) from Hungary to US.
We don't know a case when import tax had to be paid. To make it smoother:
- we write no value on the pack
- even invoice is not included in the pack at all if you request that way. There was a case in Hungary=>Rumania where the Rumanian customs officer checked the pack and found the invoice, which had cost 100 Euro "inconvenience". Would have been 0 had the invoice been sent in separate mail. There has never been a similar case for any other destination (US/Canada/NZ/Norway/Turkey/..., and of course not for EU)
- pack addressed in handwriting (not printed)
- "electronic sample for evaluation" (or similar) is written on the pack if requested
The normal way to do it is use split purchase value:
- low value for HW
- and most of the value assigned to license
[[Manual: Basics.Intro.Package]]
News
- new item: [250kPa option] for the popular external MAP sensor, plug-in replacement for the 400kPa version (adjust config.kpafac and kpaoffs). Many engines work with less than 150 kPa boost (or NA), this is fine.
- more [sticker colors], 10-Pack added for your convenience
- new item: GenBoard/Manual/PowerFlyback
- new item: precision operational amplifier [item]
- We try to make a wire groupbuy of automotive grade, 0.75mm2 [Silicone wires] of 50 colors (color combinations, striped). $0.05/m if we buy 6000m of each color.
- banks in EU are starting to behave. The common charge for international IBAN transfers (even within EU) was appr. 10 Euro (actually illegally), now usually 1 Euro (even 0 for some banks and account-type). If you know about misbehaving banks that still charge a lot, you can write here so others can easily avoid it
- ..
- price of several items was slightly decreased. Especially:
- USB-RS232 adapter (high-speed capable plc2303 type, works with windows or linux, only 19 Euro !) Ask for custom price if Q > 9.
- green-black LCD. Blue LCD (that displays white text) is also available now.
- 2,3 and 5-pin sealed-sensor [connectors]. 3-pin "injector connector" (which is C-type junior-power-timer in fact, most often used for VR sensor) is available now. Boots are included with 2 and 3-pin connectors (of both type).
- WideBand connector (GenBoard/Manual/WBSensorConnection) with crimped long (appr. 2m, >6 feet) silicone insulation wires is an option
- improvement of the supply chain and changes in Euro/USD exchange rate => prices further decreased (mainly LSU4 and connector).
- VEMS stickers available in several colors (normal and metallic colors too)
WebShop/BackLog page for requests for completing shipment when the primary shipping is done before all parts are available (everything is stocked for a long time now).
Note that the webshop email and contact is for shipping/pricing/billing. Use the wiki (see MembersPage) for technical issues. It saves you and the support crew a huge amount of time (more exactly, email wastes a huge amout of time, by splitting the details of the case to several messages and hiding the current status). In the best case, technical issues sent in email will be answered with delay.
