POSTAL SERVICES IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS

Postal services in Cayman are fast and efficient with the turnaround time for local mail, usually being 24 hours. There is no postal mail delivery, so alternatively PO Boxes are used. There are 16 post offices and numerous blue mailboxes located throughout the Islands. The largest post office branches are the Airport (APO), General Post Office downtown (GPO) and Seven Mile Beach (SMB), but there are also post offices in Savannah, Bodden Town, North Side, East End, Hell and West Bay. The GPO is open from 8.15am-5pm Monday-Friday, and all other post offices are open from 8.30am-5pm MondayFriday, except for the APO, which is open from 7.15am-6.30pm Monday-Friday until further notice. For more information, email cipscustomercare@gov.ky. Some offices are open on Saturdays from 9am-12.30pm (including the APO), except for the post offices in Hell, Bodden Town, North Side and East End, which are closed on weekends. International mail services have been impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, but this should improve as airline transportation links resume worldwide.

Postage Costs Overseas Mail: Airmail is zoned according to its destination and charged by weight. A postage calculator is available on the website: www.caymanpost.gov.ky. > US, Canada and Central America:

CI$0.75 per half ounce.

> UK and South America: CI$0.80 per half ounce. > Asia, South Africa and Australia: CI$1 per half ounce.

There is also a ‘printed matter only’ rate available for overseas mail. Mail is dispatched daily, but must be in the mailbox by 3pm. The Post Office also offers an Express Mail Service (EMS) which delivers packages to over 140 countries. Call (345) 949 6777 for more information. All incoming parcels are subject to duty and you will receive a notice in your mailbox when a parcel has arrived. If you prefer, you can request that the notice be sent to you by email by sending the tracking number and invoice to parcelpost@gov.ky. The CIPS normally delivers trackable items to street addresses for an additional fee. However, due to complications of COVID-19, this service has been temporarily suspended and all mail is being delivered to the addressee’s post office box. For more information, visit www.caymanpost.gov.ky. An example of the correct way to address mail or a parcel to Cayman is listed below. It is a requirement that a PO Box number and a postal code is always used on a letter mailed to the Cayman Islands, unless coming by courier.
