Evolution Arms Services and Build Log.

Install in hilt Rechargeable battery system (Includes charger, adapter + custom kill key):
•   NIMH - $65
•   Li-ion - $65
•   Prices can change based on different batteries.
•   I will most likely need to add a hole to your hilt.


Install Ultrasound
•   Customer Supplied boards - $75
•   (Meaning YOU buy the board, then PAY me to install it) This price is for a straight swap of boards only. Should you want your MR sound board returned to you there is a surcharge of 25.00*
•   Be advised these prices do not include misc* parts cost.
*Hilt must be FULLY install ready for base prices

Install Petit Crouton from TCSS
•   Customer Supplied boards - $95 (Meaning YOU buy the board, then PAY me to install it
- FoC add $70

    Install Crystal Focus: (***Customer supplied boards ONLY***)
    •   Basic Install and setup (Includes Novastar's Stock sound fonts, and basic calibration) - $150
    •   Flash on Clash $70
    •   Custom Installs and advanced setups - **CONTACT FOR ESTIMATE**
    •   Be advised these prices do not include parts cost.
    *Hilt must be FULLY install ready for base prices


    MISC. parts
    •   This list can include TCSS Premium speakers, switches, wire, battery holders, ETC. Basically anything I need to purchase to build your saber.

    Machining fees
    Basically, if I have to fire up the machines, it’s because something custom has to be done.  As such, it is hard to put a firm price range on this.  Depending on the work that needs done, the fees can be anywhere from $25/hour and $35/hour.  This covers the wear on the machine and tooling as well as my standard hourly labor fee.

    Powdercoating Services
     - Minimum charge - $25  This covers up to the first 2 parts in the same color.
     - $12.50 per part after that. 
     - $25 per additional color up to 2 parts in that new color. 
     - $12.50 per part after that in the new color. 
     - transparent colors have the same minimum cost, but it only covers one  part and each additional piece is $17.50 in the same color. 
     -If I do not have the color in stock and you really want it, you can have it, but you will be charged the cost of ordering the color (plus shipping from the company) plus the fees above. 

    If it is not a BASIC swap, install and is not listed here, it falls into the CUSTOM category.  This can be anything from a total custom hilt to a crystal reveal.  Please contact me via PM. Your costs will go up.

    If you have something special in mind , based on my previous work, PM me to discuss it.
    ***I offer a 90 day repair on my work from the day you receive it. ANYTHING after that is subject to a repair fee***

    Last of all. I want you to be happy with your saber. please contact me with ANY issues before the 90 day deadline, I will help you.

    *****I am not responsible for US 2.0 failures, blown speakers, over driven LEDS, worn AV switches, or depleted li-ion packs. *****

    And Finally LATE CHANGES TO A BUILD WILL COST MORE, AND THE SABER WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THESE CHARGES ARE PAID.
    Late Change Fee structure
    If a deposit has been paid and the parts are ordered, and changes by the client after that will involve a fee.
    Parts cost/parts return cost + 20.00-25.00

    Rush Order Fee
    Rush Order 10.00 base+ 10.00 for each saber ahead of yours
    For example: Your saber has 7 other builds ahead of it. You need it NOW! An $80.00 fee will be imposed.
    No one likes a line jumper.

    Nuisance Fee Structure
    Once your build is started I will answer status requests once a week. 3 status requests in 1-2 weeks will get a 20.00 fee added, per request. This is a guideline, and subject to my judgment. If you want it rushed see above.

    If any of these fees is applied/billed to you, they must be paid before your saber is shipped.

    Payment policy

    Money orders and paypal are preferred methods of payment.
    •   Money orders must clear the banking system and authenticity checks before your item is shipped
    •   Paypal
    1.   Personal payment type, payment owed. no fees or buyer protection from paypal.
    2.   Purchase payment type. You will have buyer protection, but a 4% surcharge will be added to your total.

    Shipping
    •   Domestic:
    Your items will be shipped by USPS or UPS
    Delivery Confirmation or a tracking number will be sent automatically from USPS or UPS
    Insurance is added in as well.
    •   International:
    Expedited mail service or Priority mail(depending on the value)* via USPS
    Don't ask me to lie on customs forms.
    I will declare it as a gift or product sample. For all I know, it is a gift for a relative.
    I will not declare it lower than it's value.
    Insurance will be added in as well.

Okay, that takes care of the housekeeping.  Unfortunately due to the timing of this, I'll be closed until 3/31 (as mentioned and detailed above), but I have everything up that I need at the moment. 

@everyone who has posted above, Thanks!   8)

I agree completely. Welcome to the MC Alex.  ;D


May the force be with you all!
