Question
How does the 4-business day turnaround time work around holidays like Thanksgiving?
Answer
A 4-business day turnaround is measured in business days, which normally means Monday through Friday and excludes national holidays like Thanksgiving. If a holiday or office closure lands inside your production window, it does not count as a business day, so both production and shipping can shift later.
- Only business days count toward the turnaround, so a holiday or closure effectively pauses the count for that day. When estimating your finish date, skip weekends, holidays, and closure days rather than counting straight calendar days.
- Carriers also pause on major holidays, which can extend shipping transit time separately.
- Around Thanksgiving, place orders earlier than usual to absorb the closed days.
- Check with 4OVER4 support for the exact holiday schedule and confirm your delivery date when you place the order, especially around holiday periods.
When a deadline is firm, count the holiday as non-production time and, if needed, choose a faster turnaround or shipping method to stay on track.
