Abstract

With the improvement of people's living standard, there is more general demand and higher demand for logistics in people’s daily lives. The last mile of a city’s logistics is very important because its cost accounts for nearly 30% of the total cost. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the last mile distribution mode of a city in China. It is concluded from scholars that the distribution mode of the last mile of city in China is developing in many ways, including direct distribution mode and indirect distribution mode. The indirect distribution mode includes convenience store cooperation mode, community property cooperation mode, self-helping point mode, self-helping cabinet mode, fourth-party logistics platform mode, metro logistics mode, 1 ¥ logistics mode, crowdsourcing logistics mode and J.D. mobile car. In the future, UAV distribution model and underground pipeline distribution model will probably have a huge market, and block chain because of its special advantages will also be possible to apply to the last mile of urban distribution practice in China.
