Through defining the concepts of "Internet +" and "Internet + logistics", the paper analyze the value connotation of "Internet + logistics" from three aspects as integration of logistics value, reconfiguration value chain and disintermediation function. And then based on seven theories as resource base/dependence, transaction cost, principal-agent, long tail, market equilibrium, consumption sovereignty and value chain, we study on the theoretical connotation of "Internet + logistics". Moreover, the development path of "Internet + logistics" is proposed, which exist three typical modes: platform mode, crowdsourcing mode and cross-border mode.
