St. Kitts & Nevis - Captain Jack's Treasure Chest

[Reigert2008]

If you are able to visit St. Kitts, please take a moment to visit Captain Jack's Treasure Chest in the port area.  It's your typical souvenir shop, but the owner of the store has excellent customer service.  When we were there back in December, we were not able to roam town freely after our excursion, so we were unable to visit the post office and mail our postcard to our selves home.  We decided to buy the post card at Captain Jack's, but he had no stamps available to get it to the US.  He then offered to let us pay him for the stamp and he would get the stamp and mail it for us!  This was back on November 13, 2021.  That postcard arrived in the mail yesterday, January 19, 2022.  Not sure when he actually mailed it, but the postmark is from January 2022. 

 

It's now my personal mission to get the word out about this shop.

Talk about snail mail

Totally!

To be fair, they had stopped all "mail off the island" and were really only doing inter-island mail.  Same thing happened in Nassau, back in August.  We didn't get that post card until right before Christmas.  With COVID restrictions, many classes of mail were stopped or slowed down drastically and post cards are very low on the list.  I'm often surprised when we actually get the post card even within the US
