How long is 3 business days?
3 business days is 3 working days, not counting weekends or public holidays. Generally speaking, business days are Monday through Friday and do not include weekends. This means that if something will take up to 3 business days to process, it does not necessarily mean only 3 days.
For example, if you take a letter to the post office on a Thursday and you are told by the clerk that it will be delivered in 3 business days, this does not mean the letter will be delivered on Sunday because weekends are not included. The third business day from Thursday would be the following Tuesday.
It is also important to take into account what is a business day. In general, a business day is considered to be from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Therefore, the calculation for business days not only takes into account what day the action is taking place, but also what time of day it is happening.
For example, if you order a package from a website that claims it will take 3 business days to deliver it, but you did not place the order until 7:00 pm on a Friday, the order will likely not be processed until Monday because it was placed after the finish of that business day.
As a result, your package will not be shipped until Monday and received on Thursday. In contrast, if the order is placed at 9:00 am on Friday (and shipped out the same day), the order would be received on Wednesday.
