But Amazon started logistical services before some of those companies even existed. Seems like a creative re-write of history.

When did Amazon start logistics? I know for a fact that Taobao/TMall was doing it in 2012. There was a distribution hub at the end of my street. I assume they had been doing it a few years before then but not 100% sure when they started.

You are correct JD didn't exist back then since it used to be called 360buy and they used 3rd party shipping companies.

After becoming JD they started shipping themselves. Not sure about the year.

Probably right about JD but as far as I know Amazon didn't start doing logistics till after 2013.

Am I wrong about the dates?
