What do they mean when they say business days?
as everyone above has said it just means weekdays not including any holidays - typically if a regular office is open it's a business day.





If you were to order your dress today, Wednesday, Jan. 31, they would count the 3 days starting tomorrow so ...thursday, friday, Monday is the 3rd business day - you should have your dress by Monday or Tuesday of next week - Feb 5 or 6.
Reply:Business days means Monday through Friday. It doesn't include the weekend.
Reply:Business days are usually from Monday to Friday.
Reply:yes, you'll get the dress on time. business days mean they only ship the items out on monday-friday.
Reply:They mean days that the business is open. Usually Monday-Friday normal times and Saturday businesses usually close a little early and open a little later.
Reply:Mon through Friday, unless there's a holiday on one of those days.





For example, you order something on Thursday. There will be Fri, Mon. %26amp; Tuesday - you don't count the weekend. BUT if there's Presidents Day on Monday, you skip Monday.
Reply:monday through friday
Reply:typically, when a merchant cites a delivery estimate in "x business days" this refers to non-holiday mondays through fridays





example: an item ordered on june 29, to be delivered in 7 business days will arrive on July 11, because saturdays, sundays, and holidays don't count, nor does the day the order is placed, unless it is placed by a certain "order by" time, say 2 p.m., in which case such orders will be processed ("picked") the same day, though they may not ship until first thing the following business day.
Reply:A business day means a full working day, Monday through Friday. Weekends aren't counted, and neither is a partial day.
Reply:Yes order your dress today, it will get there on time before you need it. Business days are Mon-Fri.
Reply:yeah you'll have it in time..


Business days are Monday through Friday.. (not weekends).
Reply:Monday through Friday are 'business' days.
Reply:A Business Day is One Weekday... check with the company on when they ship their merchandise... many companies will ship out the same day is the order is placed prior to 3 or 4pm... so if you were to order today and it was shipped today... you should see your package by Saturday, Monday at the latest... Sunday is not counted in shipping... and the companies do not count Saturday when quoting their 3 business day shipping times.
Reply:business days are normally m-f ... which means you'll get it on the 14th ... :)
Reply:Monday - Friday. No weekends or holidays.
Reply:mon-fri. weekends are not considered business days.
Reply:Monday through Friday





Say if you order it Friday 3 business days means you would get it Wednesday because you don't count Sat and Sun.
Reply:They ean Mon-Fri so if you ordered on Thursday it wont come until Monday or tuesday because you don't count the weekend: Thursday-Friday-Monday or possibly Friday-Monday-Tuesday depending on what time of day you ordered.
