How long is 5 business days?
5 business days is 5 to 7 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. 5 business days is 1 working week.
Five business days is one working week, and the figure behind many "allow a week" turnarounds for refunds, replies and standard shipping.
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.
