When you send a book or an item through Fedex, USPS, or UPS, does the 3-7 day shpping include weekends? And what do they mean when a company says "business days", cuz I'm afraid that's what they might be thinking, but i'm not sure, I hope not. My item needs to get their FAST.

The 3-7 days does not include weekends. Business days are Monday through Friday and do not include holidays.
You should check out the USPS flat rate priority boxes. They are about $8 and you can ship anything you can fit in the box with them regardless of weight. The shipping time is 2-3 business days.

Send USPS Priority Mail very reason and fast for small package.
Business day means Monday to Friday excluding holidays.

For UPS "business days" means Mon.-Fri., unless you use Next Day Air, Saturday Delivery. USPS Priority includes Saturday, but's the 2-3 day delivery isn't guaranteed.

business days are monday thru friday. weekends don't count. check out UPS.com for any questions. try this... http://wwwapps.ups.com/calTimeCost?loc=en_US
and yes, the flat rate box is awesome. i could send 10lb packages from CA to VA to my bf for $8.10 rather than $25 sending it in a regular box. it only took two days and it was trackable (you do have to pay extra for that tho).
