My UPS tracking states it will be here by end of day Wednesday, 07/15/2015....very fast considering it's about an 11hr flight from Boston, MA to Romania.
UPS ain't USPS, it actually hauls .... when it comes to moving packages. By comparison, a USPS delivery I am waiting on from China is now in Milwaukee after clearing customs in Chicago yesterday, despite the fact that I live in Chicago. I'll be surprised if it actually makes it to my mailbox before Thursday. 
Sooo., I had no idea there was a little o-ring on the afc, wondered why it was loose after putting it back together. It's definitely long gone after the wash earlier, FUUUU
Why couldn't Mark have included an extra one of those tiny o-rings!!! Now I gotta steal it off the second one and try to figure out how to source that little bitty thing *tear*

Six hours time difference between Germany and the US east coast, so add that to the apparent 2 hours on a west-bound flight.
It's like a rubber straight piece of o-ring, provides some friction for the AFC

Even so that's still very quick! Confirmed 1 day shipment from Romania to New York, very exciting!!
Yeah. I noticed the juice fill ones and the one for the chimney hole were pretty loose too, be easy to lose any of them while cleaning.
Doh....I guess I got a fee coming too! Still worth it to get it from the source, for me.Looks like UPS is hitting me with a tariff. Should have just ordered from state side, lessoned learned.
Thanks for the early warning notice...will be very careful...gotta watch another qorax review youtube video and check out all of the seals/orings. Especially gonna look for the one on the afc ring...don't remember that one on the video....wait a minute, I mine as well just check the pdf of the prints.
It's like a straight piece of o-ring that slides in the hole...pull it out and set it somewhere safe before washing

As you can see, I can't be blamed for losing that, lol.
Like most Americans, I take no responsibility for my actions, it must be someone else's fault.

Or just use an ultrasonic cleaner and if it pops out, just pick it up out of the tub and put it back in. Good to know now that I should check the AFC before I dump the tub out.
