This paper discusses how to integrate forward and reverse logistics to decrease the total cost of third party logistics service providers. A mathematic model is provided without the assumption of straight-line distance. Product demand and return amount can vary randomly. Then we develop a Genetic Algorithm to solve this NP-hard problem and discuss its convergence. At last an example is available.
