Ordering on 'AliExpress' on Friday
Question
Is it permissible to order on AliExpress on Friday?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no issue with this because they do not commit to processing your order on the same day, so you are not asking them to work for you on Shabbat.
[Even if the Chinese worker ends up working on it during Shabbat, it is of their own accord and not at your request].
