On February 2 1 day 17, Ms. Sun just returned to Shanghai from her hometown and wanted to order a takeaway for dinner. When she opened the familiar takeaway APP, she found that the delivery fee of many merchants was much more expensive than usual. "It used to be about five or six yuan. When I ordered food on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I found that the delivery fee of some merchants rose by a few dollars, and several of them rose to 20 yuan or even higher. " Ms. Sun said.

Entering the takeaway APP, I found that some merchants with price increases have marked "Spring Festival delivery", ranging from fifty cents to more than ten yuan. After the Spring Festival holiday, the delivery fees of many merchants began to decline, and the "Spring Festival delivery" was changed to "peak price", and some merchants have resumed the original delivery price.

The delivery staff of a brand restaurant in Minhang District said: "The specific increase of delivery fee during the Spring Festival is discussed by the take-away company and the merchants. There are two main reasons. Some are to encourage riders to stay in Shanghai for the New Year and increase the delivery fee to increase their income. Some merchants increase the delivery fee because there are many customers in Chinese New Year restaurants, so as to limit the order quantity of take-away. Under normal circumstances, after the Spring Festival, the original price will be gradually reduced or restored. "
