==Moving Packages Received on Shabbat==
# Even if the package was delivered from outside of the techum if the package was placed in a house or building then it can be moved within the house since the house walls are considered 4 amot.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 405:1 writes that people who leave the techum only have 4 amot. Shulchan Aruch 405:9 applies these laws to objects as well. Shulchan Aruch 405:6 writes that if a person left the techum accidentally or was forcibly was moved by non-Jews and ended up beyond the techum within a walled area the entire walled area is considered like 4 amot. However, if a Jew left the techum intentionally he only has 4 amot. However, with respect to objects that left the techum, Mishna Brurah 405:50 writes that if the objects left the techum and entered a walled area they can be moved within the entire walled area whether they were moved there intentionally or unintentionally.</ref>
# If one isn't sure if an item was brought from beyond the techum one has to be strict not to move beyond 4 amot even though techum is rabbinic.<Ref>Beitzah 24b, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 515:1</ref>

==Walking to the edge of the Techum==
==Walking to the edge of the Techum==
# It is forbidden to walk to the edge of the Techum in order to leave on a journey quickly after Shabbat. However, if the action one is going to do after [[Shabbat]] could theoretically have been done on [[Shabbat]], it is not forbidden to walk tot the edge of the Techum waiting for the end of [[Shabbat]]. For example, one may walk to the edge of the Techum in order to bring one's animal back because theoretically one could have done this on Shabbat if there were houses extending the Techum. Also one may walk to the edge of the Techum in order to collect fruit which fell before [[Shabbat]] and aren't [[Muktzeh]] because theoretically one could have done so on [[Shabbat]] if there were walls surrounding the path (which would permit [[carrying on Shabbat]]). <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 90:3</ref>
