Don't exist .. 'Distributors' made sense in the old days when Manufactured goods arrived by the ship load and had to be stored some-where before being broken up into lots and shipped to the Retailers.

The IT industry never had a Mfg > Distributor > Retailer > Customer model .. and these days most Mfg's ship direct to the Retailers (who have their own warehouses) thereby cutting out the Distributer ... indeed with the advent of the Internet and Drop Shipping, the preferred chain for most Manufacturers would be direct to Customer .. (thereby cutting out both Distributor and Retailer)
