Abstract

Due to the continuous development of online shopping in recent years, the development of e-commerce logistics is more rapid. Consumers are generally sensitive to the timeliness of logistics distribution, especially in the last-mile distribution service, so it is of great significance to study the last-mile distribution of e-commerce logistics. Firstly, this paper selects the overall situation of documents from China and abroad, and expounds the key words and the trend of paper publication. Secondly, distribution is divided into direct distribution and indirect distribution to sort out the research status. Finally, this paper looks forward from two aspects of research perspective and research content.
