How in the name of God are they not a distributor?

[–] grayman@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Well all they do is take in bulk shipments of, categorize, store, individually package, ship, and deliver products. I just really don't see how you could call that "distributing" goods. /s

I think distributor normally sends to other business rather than gen pop. I might be wrong though.
