UPS shipping days
How does UPS count shipping days?
When UPS counts the number of days to deliver a package, it is based on “business days”. This does not include Saturday, Sunday, and national holidays. It also does not include the day the package was picked up.
For example, if your package is shipped by UPS 3-Day Select service and it was shipped on Friday, do not expect your package on the following Monday. Because Friday does not count; Saturday and Sunday do not count either. The first day starts from Monday so you will receive your package on Wednesday.
As another example, if your 2nd-Day shipment was picked on Thursday, it will be delivered on Monday not Saturday. However, if you want it delivered on Saturday, it can be done with extra charge by UPS.
