I purchased a Cadillac 3 months ago from a seller in Missouri and paid shipmycar.co.uk £3.5k to import it into the UK for me. In that time the vehicle has been booked onto 3 vessels and has missed all 3 of them due to the transporter company not coming to get the car. Not only that, but the seller has had total radio silence from SMC & the transport company since day 1. When I contact SMC I get nowhere, just empty promises and "we will chase it for you" replies.

I've used the company a few times in the past, and tbh they were pretty bad then too, but I cut them some slack as there was massive delays in shipping due to to the tail end of covid at the time, and the cars did eventually arrive.

However, now I'm loosing my sh*t over the poor service I'm receiving and I want to go elsewhere. Can anyone recommend me a company?

Nope! It finally got collected, but was then taken to a warehouse (USA still) and i haven’t heard anything since other than that they’ve had problems starting it. No sh*t Sherlock, it’s a carb car that’s been sitting unused for 6 months likely with a tank of e10!!
