Showing my ignorance, but where on the site can I order a whiz bang jr from?

Thanks for that. It seemed strange when I did a site search for it nothing came up.
Got it now anyways! Once again thanks.

Looks like I will have to give the whiz bang a miss as the $53 US postage is too over the top for me!
Can never understand why postage over there is so much more expensive than australia or great britian?

Not that cheap.  I was gob smacked at a Christmas card this year that was 2 Pounds from GB to Canada!
The mail is far cheaper for us than courier... by as much as 1/2.

right the shipping cost breake the neck ;(

I catched mine with shunt for about 90$ with shipping and tax, to germany from ebay from  "belmont_solar"

I use a freight forwarder for all my NAWs stuff. Its not as cheap as it could be , but still lots cheaper than any other trans US postal service.

I have no idea what a freight forwarder is sorry,lol.
The whiz bang must weigh in at 2-3 kgs, does it?
I got a centrifuge sent in from the states to australia and its freight was approx $100 US and that including 3phase motor, spinner and parts.
Some US evil bay sellers offer free freight on items of a small size, I wonder how they manage that.
And the last mid nite 150 reg I got a couple of weeks ago cost about $70 Us for postage as well.

Russ,

Go to you local Midnite dealer in OZ and buy the WBjr and shunt, if needed, from them.
It will probably be cheaper than paying the international shipping costs.
If you read the fine print you will see the seemingly high postage charges cover such interesting things as handling fees, packaging fees, documentation fees etc.
The WBjr and shunt weigh a hundred or two grams so actual post charge is a lot lower than the USD58 you get quoted.

Well the  use is www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop, but im sure youll find teh same thing in your country.

So you got a Classic 150 sent & didn't get a WBjr but the sent in a form for you to get one ? I saw that option last year starting.

WBjr is in Grams or Oz. Box size is inches  1"thick 3X4" .. And now you need a shunt ..

there are 3 listed here in Oz...http://www.midnitesolar.com/distributors_stocking.php

Beginning about June,  2015  the standard Classics no longer included the WBjr,  IIRC.

I have 3 mid nite classic 150 regs now and none of them had any paperwork about the whizbang in them when I opened the box.
Will see what the damage from an australia distributor.
It may be shocking as well, lol.

[russ_drinkwater]

Cheapest one is $98 AU, so not too bad just double the price plus another 10% lol.
A bit better than $100 US.
Might have a look on amazon as well.
