Assuming that you are referring to Orthodox Jews, they generally do not transport goods on Shabbat. The day is a day on which work ceases. However, within cities and smaller towns with a large Jewish presence, there is typically an "eruv" (עירוב) which is a ritual enclosure that permits Jews to treat a large area of a city as a communal space in which things may be carried. However, the Jews will only transport what desperately needs transporting, such as religious books, religious paraphernalia, and baby strollers. As a matter of course, they do not transport consumer goods on Shabbat, even within an eruv.
