Questions people ask about this
What counts as a business day in shipping?
A day the carrier operates in the relevant country. That excludes Sundays almost everywhere, usually Saturdays for express freight, and national public holidays at both ends of the lane. A shipment crossing from Germany to the US in late December can lose four working days to holidays alone.
Why should I care about holidays in the origin country?
Because nothing moves. A Chinese New Year shutdown routinely takes two to three weeks out of a sourcing timeline, and Golden Week takes another. Planning a restock against average lead time rather than the calendar is how sellers end up out of stock in Q4.
