Talk:Third-party logistics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If some organization is a Third Party Logistics provider, who is the First and Second party?

Maybe if you were to think about it for a second you would figure it out. 1st party is the supplier and 2nd party is the company buying the product that was being stored by the 3rd party logistics provider.

Actually, the third party may never have ownership nor possession of the product at all. Rather it is just someone besides the Supplier and the Purchaser who arranges shipping or provides other logistics services, like freight bill payment..

Third party has no responsibility or ownership in the qulaity of the product at delivery, they don't care what the customer really want. Its still up to the First party to answer to the customer when alls wrong, as the customer will always come back to them.
