With the development of China’s Internet and consumer habits, the B2C e-commerce website development by leaps and bounds. We should note that although a large number of B2C companies, however, firm size is difficult to expand. The construction of distribution centers has been the bottleneck of the development of B2C, delay distribution, distribution costs are too high has hampered the development of B2C e-commerce site. In this paper, we study distribution costs and reduce delivery time, B2C e-commerce sites to the distribution center site selection for research. By the method of combining genetic algorithms and MATLAB software, we can solve the model problems. The model of the distribution center based on distribution of the lowest cost and shortest delivery time, taking into account the service radius of the cost implications, by influence the service radius the operation cost to join model, the model with close to reality. Through research, from the delivery time and distribution costs to achieve the best balance of perspective B2C e-commerce businesses of the distribution center site, to determine the more suitable for the distribution center location of the B2C e-commerce logistics center, for the type of enterprise distribution center location offers some helpful suggestions.
