    In Weizhou Island, Beihai City, residents need to pay a "pickup fee" of at least 3 yuan based on the weight of the express package when receiving the express package, and there is no fixed standard for the fee.

    Residents believe that this is an arbitrary charge, and the excess freight should not make consumers pay the bill.
    Beihai City Postal Administration said it would investigate the matter
