Customer satisfaction degree(CSD) is the increasingly important decision factor to all third -party logistics firms seeking maximum service profits. It is necessary for the third party logistics company´s customer satisfaction degree evaluation-makers to comprehensively measure many qualitative and quantitative factors.

Then the evaluation method of logistics company´s CSD was put forward, which overcoming neglection of both subjectivity and objectivity as well as the corelativities of the evaluation indexes for usual logistics company´s CSD evaluation method.
