When/how often should a housing be sent back to you for o-ring replacement. I have a D200 housing, everything is working perfectly and I would rather not have it fail.

We recommend returning a housing for service every 1-3 years depending on use and care. It's definitely time to return it if the buttons are getting sticky or there is an excessive amount of salt buildup around the controls.
General maintenance includes replacement of all seals, checking of controls and TTL circuit and water pressure test. For a dSLR housing, cost of service is $125 + return shipping. Typical turnaround time is approximately 2 weeks. Return along with a brief letter of explanation and full contact info to:

Sending your housing in directly is always the most efficient way to get it repaired or serviced. When sending internationally, it's very important to correctly list the item as being returned for repair service by the original manufacturer. This helps to avoid any duties or customs charges.

Well...damn. I had no idea we should do such things. Had I known, I might have sent my housing in with my strobe and save on postage ):We recommend returning a housing for service every 1-3 years depending on use and care.
