eBay

Sure hope eBay did not use this "Google" source to determine the July 4th, 2021 Holiday.

I see from doing a shipment that eBay has actually caught on to the Monday (5th)Holiday for USPS shipping.

Hopefully there is not a repeat of the coding error(likely what it was) from the last Holiday that caused the "tracking updated" snafu.

That is an article from Stamps.com, but it is right. Fourth of July falls on a Sunday but is observed on Monday for the USPS.

From the web page. "Note: When a federal holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the legal public holiday will be the closest weekday to the actual holiday."

Correct, but July 4th is not on a Monday. The Post Office will be closed on Monday the 5th of July.

I wonder how eBay can miss something so basic, too. It's not like the Universe suddenly popped Memorial Day out on them - it's only been a Federal holiday since 1971.

Yes, the fourth is on a Sunday, but the search result you used includes USPS and holiday so it gives you exactly that, the days USPS holidays are, not the actual date the holiday takes place. "USPS Post Office Holidays, 2021" is the title of the table they are presenting. It is confusing as the Stamps article just uses "Day" in the table title.

Google doesn't promise their features snippets are accurate that is why you can report them if you believe they are.
