If you work in any industry that has international ties, you get to know the holidays of various countries. If not, you don't.
I'd say your customer from Trinidad and Tobago has a bit of a right to be annoyed - there should have been some sort of notification when he ordered from you that orders placed after X time on the 3rd would not be fulfilled until July 5th. The expectation that people from around the world should be intimately aware of holidays in the United States is one of those things that everyone else in the world gets mad at us Americans for.
I mean, who schedules a holiday for a Wednesday, honestly?
