    I was just wondering if anyone could confirm that FedEx counts Saturday as a business day since they do Saturday delivery for FedEx Home Delivery.

    Example: I am shipping a box from Mass to Cali on a Tuesday with FedEx quoting Home Delivery in 4 business days. If I dropped the box off before the last pickup, would it arrive in Cali on Saturday or Monday? Thanks for your help guys.

    Saturday does count as a business day if sent Home Delivery.

    My belief is that if you paid the few extra dollars to send it Home Delivery it would arrive on Saturday. Ground which doesn't involve Saturdays would make it there Monday. That is my interpretation at least.

    Is that the only difference between Ground and Home Delivery?

    Home does not deliver on Mondays.
