[Avodah] Can One Order a Package Knowing It May Arrive on Shabbos

[Akiva Miller]

.
Much of this discussion (such as R' Zev Sero's comments) seems to focus on
the arrival and delivery. But isn't the other work also a factor?

Suppose I order something on Friday from a location that is one day away. I
think it is assur to request Sunday delivery, because I know that it won't
be possible unless the package is in transit during Shabbos. In contrast,
if I request Monday delivery, that would be okay, even though I know that
they'll be working for me on Shabbos, because it was their choice to work
on Saturday rather than Sunday.
