Abstract: 

The project of pricing logistics services in the Logistics-Services-Provider sector is extremely difficult due to the absence of adequate technical knowledge in the Logistics market. This knowledge is not taught in special and integrated approach. The Logistics market is in need of a sector responsible for recording all pricing methods as regards the provision of pricing services. This sector has to be fully functional, efficient, and rational. This chapter aims at the development of an integrated record for the identification and classification of the advantages – disadvantages and key criteria as regards the selection of pricing methods in the third party logistics (3PLs) market sector. The key finding of this chapter contribute to the identification and classification of pricing methods, possibly applied in future 3PL projects.
