With the advance of information technology companies and the rapid rise of e-commerce, express delivery is becoming increasingly important in logistics industry and our social economic development. The main features of express services is fast, in time, distribution science and rationality is the key to its survival and development, but also its response to competition, the basic way to open up markets. Express industry in China started late, there are many limitations, such as: small scale, low degree of automation, processing speed slow, express automatic sorting technology behind; lack of professional logistics talent , lack of effective control on the distribution process efficiency and quality; distribution a single model, delivery and distribution of content is no scientific basis for increased logistics costs, quality of service is improved slowly. Currently, scholars's quantitative research for express distribution has been lagging far behind the pace of development delivery, The method which can really help express delivery companies to provide a scientific basis for decision making is relatively small. Therefore, It is a great significance to establish a decision-making model for distribution to the general process of courier company, quantitative distribution costs, the best distribution volume and the best delivery time.This paper presents the status of China's express delivery industry, First of all, analyse the quantitative and qualitative research at home and abroad about logistics distribution. To clarify the latest methods and ideas of the express distribution, and lay a theoretical foundation for the paper research. In the second chapter, with more general characteristics of logistics enterprises, focusing on analysis of the characteristics and mode of delivery courier companies, express delivery model that is divided into consideration the time limit and without regard to clients customers time, the model which consider the time frame is divided into two models of some customers delayed deliveries, and no delay in delivery.In the third chapter, establish a variety of distribution cost model, and make a quantitative analysis about distribution costs, the best distribution volume, the best delivery cycle, analysed sensitivity to the key parameter of the model, and provide evidence to the optimal choice for the model.Chapter IV in the article, Focusing on the express delivery of different sizes companies about the application process of distribution model,to improve the practicability of the model. Finally, there are an example to validate the delivery model results of express distribution center. Hope that through this research to improve the efficiency of distribution centers, to achieve scientific and quantitative decision-making for distribution centers.The quantitative research on Express delivery center distribution procese is a process of gradual and accumulation, establish the model need a lot of empirical testing and further revision. Because of the time, conditions, sources of information and my ability limit, such as each model lacking of the data validation and detailed case analysis and so on. All of these shortcomings are damaged the paper's scientific and persuasive, so the conclusions of this paper need further analysis and testing in future research and practice.
