How long is 2–3 business days?
2–3 business days is 2 to 5 calendar days. Business days are Monday to Friday, so the length on the calendar depends on how many weekends the count crosses, and that depends on the day it starts. The earliest end of the window, 2 business days, is 2 to 4 calendar days; the latest, 3, is 3 to 5.
Two to three business days is a typical estimate for expedited shipping and for a transfer between banks.
Public holidays push the date out further. The answer above skips the US holidays most employers observe and the England and Wales bank holidays, and names any it skipped. Your own employer's closures, regional holidays and a seller's order cut-off are not included, so treat the date as the earliest it can be.

Questions about 2–3 business days
How long is 2–3 business days?
2–3 business days is 2 to 5 calendar days: 2 business days at the earliest and 3 at the latest, with weekends skipped. Counted from a Monday it ends between Wednesday and Thursday, 2 to 3 calendar days later; counted from a Friday it ends between Tuesday and Wednesday, 4 to 5 calendar days later.
Does 2–3 business days include weekends?
No. A 2–3 business day estimate counts Monday to Friday only and skips public holidays, so 2–3 business days quoted on a Thursday ends no earlier than Monday and no later than Tuesday, 5 calendar days later.
Does the day I order count as one of the 2–3 business days?
Usually not. A count of 2–3 business days normally starts on the next business day, so the day of the order or request is day zero; an order placed after a seller's daily cut-off may start a day later still.
