## Code

```php
$min_days     = 2;                      // Fastest delivery, in working days.
$max_days     = 4;                      // Slowest delivery, in working days.
$working_days = array( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ); // 1 = Monday ... 7 = Sunday.

$add_working_days = function ( $days ) use ( $working_days ) {
    $date = new DateTime( 'now', wp_timezone() );

    while ( $days > 0 ) {
        $date->modify( '+1 day' );

        if ( in_array( (int) $date->format( 'N' ), $working_days, true ) ) {
            $days--;
        }
    }

    return $date;
};

$from = $add_working_days( $min_days );
$to   = $add_working_days( $max_days );

printf(
    '<p class="wpide-delivery-estimate" style="margin:0 0 20px;padding:12px 16px;border-radius:6px;background:#f6f7f7;">&#128230; Estimated delivery: <strong>%1$s &ndash; %2$s</strong></p>',
    esc_html( wp_date( 'D j M', $from->getTimestamp() ) ),
    esc_html( wp_date( 'D j M', $to->getTimestamp() ) )
);
