But there are also retailers who do NOT have shops/stores but only sell 
on-line.  So I think the definition of "retailer" is becoming murkier.

The two words have different meanings. As I said, some companies do both. Just 
as an example, a distributor might or might not have a 'trade counter' where 
professionals can go to buy stuff, but they normally take orders by phone or 
on-line and send stuff from their warehouses, whereas retailers have 
shops/stores where the general public go.
