[Mr. P]

Anyone know the size for the Xconnect o-rings?

[Mr. P]

Found it, 12mm OD, 8mm ID and 2mm width.

When I need replacement O rings for X-Connect I buy them from HolidayCoro.

If I need LOR connector O rings, I buy them from LIGHT-O-RAMA.

Just simpler that way(for me).🙂

Would rather avoid paying $5 for the product and $20 to ship them.

I've never paid $20 for shipping for O rings.

   Usually sent regular mail, might pay maybe $1-$2, for shipment for O rings, if even that, but $20? Nope.

Something off with that if that's what you're getting charged for shipping for a bag of O rings!

Unfortunately, when you pay for shipping: 1)They have little incentive to find the most cost effective way.  This include using the optimum container like Amazon does. 2) S&H is a profit center (and taxable in CA if lumped. OTOH Actual Postage is not.)  To be fair to really low volume businesses. A trip to the post office eats time and fuel. Once your volume grows, A postage Meter or Regular UPS pickup pays for itself.

BTW Padded/tyvex envelopes are not free. It (shipping expense) does mount fast. I remember 3 cent first class. now 😲 60 some-odd

Just bought some O Rings last year, didn't pay $20 for S+H.  Came in a standard #10 Business envelope.

I think you probably have found some. I have used these off of amazon. 50 for 5.99 for the lor connectors + free ship if you have prime
