Tweet. Key difference: The main difference between a distributor and a retailer is that, a distributor supplies the products, goods and/or services, while a retailer sells the products, goods and/or services.
Product distributors are responsible for getting product to retail outlets, which includes international shipping customs paperwork. Manufacturers can ship product to a domestic location of a distributor, and then the distributor would then take the steps necessary to get the product to overseas markets. This allows a manufacturer to expand its customer base without having to open international shipping or sales locations.
