Customs adds on an hour for Christmas crush
(CNS): The Customs Department will be open for an extra hour most days over the two weeks to allow pick up of packages before Christmas. From today until Friday, 22 December, the Collections Office will close at 5:00pm instead of the usual closing time of 4:00pm but it will close at noon on Saturday, 16 December. The Customs Courier Office will be open regular hours and remain closed on Saturdays. Deputy Collector of Customs Kevin Walton said that, given the rise in imports during the Christmas season, the extension was to allow goods to be cleared before the holidays.
“We want our customers’ holiday experience to be a very happy one, so we have decided to extend the hours to help facilitate trade,” he said.

No thanks! I have better things to do with my life than watch some rude sloth open my kids’ Christmas presents and then charge me for the privilege. That’s if they arrive at all. This year I’ve let everyone know not to send gifts to Cayman.

Seriously…staying open until 5pm should not be commended, it should be the norm.
I’d rather stab myself in the eyes with rusty nails than go to collect a package from these clowns.
Merry Christmas.
Hmm, I was thinking more along the lines of disembowelling myself with a stick b
