5 Business Days with 4th of July in the Middle

[pvcliff]

So anything bought today, tomorrow or Sunday that is listed as 5 business days handling should show a shipping date of Monday, July 8? The system skips the 4th of July holiday, right? I know my regular mail man won't work on the 5th and our volunteer post office is likely closed the same way it is Thanksgiving Friday to give the ladies a long weekend. That leaves running the gauntlet of the homeless at the main post office which I then impose upon Cliff to do. We are headed to the mountains, returning on the 3rd so trying to get my handling time set properly.

Set it for 10 days and don't worry about it.

Or 5 days and ship on the 5th.

Just ship them sooner for a couple of days.
