    Thank you all.. I am speaking to a lawyer.. I am very annoyed as they admit they made an error, but have washed their hand of it, and now I have no car for one month

    What did they say when you spoke with them?
    Hello I am just waiting to hear back. The shipping agent (a U.K. company that signed the contract) put a sticker on the car that said Turkey instead of Spain. That was their honest error

    You said you were speaking to a lawyer two weeks ago.  Hurry them along...

    Thank you yes, I spoke again to one of them a couple of days ago, I am hoping to hear back today. They had to review the terms and conditions (which are only a page…).  Interestingly the shipping company has produced a set of guidelines (which I was never sent) which states they are not responsible for anything they ship..

    The ship is on its way back from Turkey.. there is talk about dropping car off in northern Spain (it isn’t stopping in southern Spain which is where I paid to have it shipped to) but not had confirmation
