    Clearing packages quickly and efficiently, collecting duty where necessary, is part of the essential roles fueling local commerce, yet CBC runs the warehouse like a short-staffed Dairy Queen. Scale it up properly. Manage any employees that aren’t pulling their weight. There’s something wrong with management if a plumbing issue brings the whole show to a standstill. What is the post-storm contingency plan? Is there no backup plan?

    There’s only one reason why packages and parcels take so long to clear customs, and it’s not plumbing.

      I blame your customs agent. I clear my own cargo and customs has processed my last two declarations within two hours of submission.

      They are not the culprit.

    Is THIS what caused some stations to run out of petrol last week? I was told CBC had delays in clearing the new gas shipments but I thought they meant petrol!

    I always described this department as full of sh!t, but didn’t mean it that literally.

    We’ve had a FedEx International Priority package with pre-alerted duty free item embarrassingly stuck at HM Customs for four full business days. This place is dysfunctional at a level like nowhere else in the world. Earlier this week, we finally cleared a small package from APO that HM Customs had for 2 months. It’s not just the plumbing that needs fixing over there. Someone needs to pump some oxygen in there.

      Everything Cayman does, Bermuda does it better.
      In Bermuda.
      • public transportation is excellent
      • they deliver mail to residential and business addresses
      • getting a package from the post office is a breeze
      • their airport is great
      • they don’t have an open air stinking dump
      • thye reatrict automobile purchases because they have excellent public transportation

      Are Bermudians inherently mentally superior?

        Yet there are more Bermudians in Cayman than there are Caymanians in Bermuda. Curious.

        I think you might mean that their politicians are morally and ethically superior and maybe not as corrupt?
