I mean, how is it not a distributor? Honest question, all those trucks sure do look like they are distributing products.

Typically a distributor deals to stores that deal to end users.
Amazon call themselves a store, but at their scale and volume they’re pretty much a distributor.

Not even pretty much, they really are a distributor
They have many different businesses all selling on their shelves and then Amazon ships you the product
