I really don't want to post in here, due to redz's comment about warning people if they do so, but what the hell.
I have no disrespect whatsoever with SFR, any company trying hard to offer performance parts for hyundai's is cool in my book. Thanks Jay for all you do man, I appreciate it.
Every once and a while problems occur with this international shipping pain in the ass. It's not SFR's fault, it is the damn shipping companies fault, little bastards, lol. I myself am experiencing that issue right now with my BBK.
Anyway, the 'used' TB you got was definately bored out a bit, you can tell because the cone-in effect at the front of it where the air first enters it is much shorter than the 60mm one, plus it is bare aluminum, not coated black.
I just wanted to mention that because nobody else posted up that idea or fact, whatever you want to call it.
It may still arrive there, it hasn't been too much time over the estimated time frame, and occasionally it take a bit longer to get there - like in my case with the BBK.
Once again, lot's of respect from me to both redz and jay for what they do for us and how hard they work every day to get the job done.
It's too bad your transaction ended up this way daniel, sorry to hear about it man.

It would seem that you are only about 10 days over the shipping estimate of 30 days. In the world of international shipping that is nothing. I wouldn't panic until it's like a month late. I have had things show up on my door from all over the world when I had given up. (hell one post card had a tack mark in it like someone had hung it up on a wall) Anyway I wouldn't give up hope yet.

I just counted them up and that's been 31 business days, right at the time it should be in Korea.
let me hit up jay and see if he's got any info.
I have NO idea why you spent that much to send it that slow my man. I just sent a 20 pound HUGE fuel cell to Korea, via EMS (4 to 7 days insured and guaranteed), for $105.
Before that, the last box I sent back was a bit bigger than a TB, weighed 8 pounds, and cost me $32, for EMS, insured and guaranteed 4 to 7 days (USPS).

It was sent the fastest way through USPS ('guaranteed' 4-7 days for $51.08). USPS does not offer any type of tracking on overseas shipments.
UPS had this same 4-7 day option with a tracking number for $105.00. I just wish I spent the extra $50.00.
OK, 31 business days, however it was only suppose to be 4-7 business days.

Yeah, they do offer tracking bro. It's called EMS. Express Mail Service. I use it all the time. I tracked the shipment I made to Jay.
I understand that it should be there though by now, I'm getting ahold of him. Just keep on me till I've got this settled.
BTW, you can also use the larger customs forms for tracking of sorts. I do it all the time.

OK, REDZ you convinced me to go and get my customs form from the UPS store in my account folder. Low a behold there was a slip for USPS insurance as well. Hopefully between these two numbers I can find out what the hold up is. I'll contact USPS tomorrow and see what I can find out. I also found out it only cost UPS $31.00 to ship it, thats $20.00 profit. Probably more then they would have made if I used UPS to ship it.

Awesome. I see shipping was $30, and then the extra insurance was like $20? I can't read those well.
Get me a closeup or just the bar code # off of the customs form you used.
USUALLY you have to use the EMS form if you are shipping 4-7 days, and you get a copy of that one. It looks like they just shipped it for you, with the customs form and an address on the box, and that would DEFINITELY screw up shipping and not give you a tracking #.

Actually, I just used this...

Your insurance claim form number, and it says it was delivered in Korea on 8 May.

Status: Delivered Abroad
Your item was delivered in KOREA at 12:43 PM on May 8, 2007.
No address listed, but it's been delivered somewhere in Korea.
Now to just get Jay in here to see all of this. Those other #'s from the other form will still help. Maybe also a closeup so we can see how his address was input into the paper, their addresses are confusing and it could have been misdelivered.
