For example, an order placed before noon via Overnight Service on Saturday, July 3rd, should be expected on Tuesday, July 6th. An order that ships at the same time via a 2nd Day service should be expected the following Wednesday. Likewise, an order that normally takes four days transit, should be expected to take five as our carrier services are also observing Independence Day on July 5th.<!--more--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6027\" title=\"empoyeesjuly4flags\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags.jpg 650w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags-126x120.jpg 126w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags-284x271.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags-190x181.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags-126x120@2x.jpg 252w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags-284x271@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/empoyeesjuly4flags-190x181@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From all of us at Other World Computing, we would like to wish all of our customers a very happy 4th of July.
