Hi to the people from the USA, I have a question. How many and which days were public holidays for Thanksgiving?

My nook color left B&N in Nevada at 1.04pm 23 Nov. It arrived in Portland Oregon at 1.47pm 26 Nov. I paid for the quicker 3 day service but UPS are saying the delivery date is 30 Nov which means it will have taken 7 days. Was there a holiday on Friday? as Friday was the 3 days. Is there a public Holiday on Monday? since they are saying delivery is not until Tuesday.

The UPS description for 3 Day Select is:

UPS 3 Day Select®
Choose this guaranteed service for your less time-sensitive shipments

Delivery Commitment Delivery by the end of the third business day

I am just trying to understand why a 3 day service would take 7 days.
