I'm slightly surprised there isn't room for a logistics company that can give smaller retailers Amazon-level efficiencies, but not have ecommerce ambitions, itself. And it should be branded (like Amazon Prime), not just someone in the backround, so people know it will ship quickly, arrive quickly, and have a good level of support.

Isn't this Shopify [0]?

Sort of, but Shopify (at least last I checked) is only the storefront and credit card processing. Warehousing, inventory management, fulfillment, and shipping are all 100% still on the vendor.

EDIT: Looks like Shopify is indeed setting up its own fulfillment network, but it was only announced a few months ago and is likely some ways off from launching:

Shoprunner tried to be somewhere in that niche, but it kind of has died down after the initial hype, I still see a few sites using it but the big retailers seems to be gone from the program.
