3 – 7 business days typically refers to the number of weekdays (Monday to Friday) it takes for a shipment or process to be completed, excluding weekends and holidays.
Assuming a standard Monday-to-Friday workweek, here’s a breakdown:
- 3 business days: 3 weekdays (Example; Monday to Wednesday)
- 7 business days: 7 weekdays (Example; Monday to the following Monday, excluding weekends)
Keep in mind that this timeframe may vary depending on the specific context, such as:
- Shipping: Delivery times may be affected by the carrier, route, and destination.
- Work schedules: Some businesses or industries might have non-standard workweeks or hours.
- Holidays: Business days may be reduced during holiday periods.
