I ordered something online 2 weeks ago. It was shipped on the 3rd, and still hasn't arrived. I get there was a holiday in there. But, why does it take so long for things to arrive after they are shipped?

You have to allow three days, in general. It's hit or miss as to whether Saturday is included (I'm guessing it is not in this case).

You should have it by tomorrow.

Maybe you should pick the cheapest way of shipping if you want it there quickly

That was only two business days ago

And packages take a little longer than letters

Not knowing anything other than what you've presented in the OP, it's only been one business day since the item was shipped.

Does this mean that it actually left the company on the 3rd, or that they packaged it to ship? If the latter, it may not have physically left the plant until yesterday.

It may take as long as a week depending on from where it was shipped and your shipping address.
