    Generally, that would indicate waiting time for delivery.

    Hello Owais,

    This is what it normally means, i.e. delivery will be within 4 to 6 days.

    This however does not normally include weekends. It normally means 4 to 6 working days.

    I'm not sure I understand. If you ordered something online and payed online with a credit card or some other type of payment method, I would say you can start counting on the next business day. However, some places online take a few days to process the order, so you may have to add a few days. Some places I've ordered from online email me when the order is approved, then send me another email when the order is shipped. If you mailed the payment for an order, nothing will get shipped until your payment is processed and approved. Then, depending on the company, what you ordered can ship immediately or take a few days to ship.

    That's how long it will take to get to you, once you've payed for the order online.
