E-business is closely connected with logistic services since all goods must be transferred between buyers and sellers, no matter in B2C, B2B or C2C e-business modes.

Good logistics can win good comments from both sides of buyer and sellers; bad logistics may influence the buyers or the sellers’ mood. Especially for some festival holidays, the buyer requires the goods must be shipped on certain date, if the seller did not arrange shipment well or the logistics did not fulfill the commitment, goods may lose the significance when the goods shipment delayed.

Logistic companies need to issue strict regulations on managing the whole process of goods shipment as there were some negative reports on distributors in logistic companies stealing goods and just sent an empty box to the receiver.
Some people may have experienced valuable goods were lost during delivery.

Bad logistic service tarnishes logistics fame as well as e-business operators’ reputation.

Good logistics include specific services such as packing, protecting goods damage on the long haul and online trace system through which both parties can check where the goods have been delivered and the delivery time is under control and estimation even if there is some force majeure event.

The Evolution of the Doorstep Handshake In the early days of the renewable energy boom, the transition to solar power was often viewed as a purely transactional event.
