Wal Mart understands the logistics business far better than Amazon does with it's fleet of trucks and warehouse system
Amazon has its own warehouse system of considerable size, and it understands the logistics business SO WELL that they manage to coordinate third party contractors to move most of their products around.

Amazon hired people from FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc to break into the logistics and transportation business a couple years ago. So they know what they're doing moreso than most.

Until about 2 years ago Amazon relied entirely on USPS, Fed Ex, and UPS to deliver product to the end user (last mile). They have just started up a separate division called AMZL which is their own internal UPS/FedEx/USPS company to deliver product to the end user. You think Amazon might figure out how to get their product from the warehouse to the door eventually by using their own internal distribution center? Don't bet against it..
