OUR STORY
Our roots come from the Web – hence the name Weby. And we are Webygeeks– people that like all kinds of outdoor gear and seek to try it all out.
From the beginning we saw the need to offer both firearm and non-firearm related outdoor products in the same space.
So whether you hunt, shoot, camp, hike, ski, or run marathons, we carry gear that fits your lifestyle.
Our employees are passionate about the outdoors. We hunt big and small game, run marathons and zombie runs, fish saltwater and freshwater, target shoot rimfire and archery, hike and camp, and windsurf and ski.
Our passion for the outdoors drives our passion for our company.
We seek to equip our customers with the gear that we ourselves would love to use in our pursuits.

2018
2018 was another pivotal year in the history of Weby Corp:
- Weby Corp launched a Walmart.com platform offering all brands under our management access to what we believe will become an important marketplace over the next five years. We strongly believe that brands interested in nationwide coverage should have presence on all key marketplaces. The Weby Corp team and our technology solutions allow brands to be present in all channels while maintaining MAP pricing and optimizing for maximum inventory coverage.
- Weby Corp expanded its warehouse facilities in 2018 to support our additional growth.
- In the fall of 2018, Weby Corp was challenged by the changing political landscape when one of our key technology partners, Shopify, refused to support our firearm business – 1800GunsAndAmmo.com. This unexpectedly forced us to scramble for a new partner. As a result we had to shut down the site while we reviewed our options, found a solution, and reworked our technology framework. Presently the site has been relaunched with the help of BigCommerce, and it is better than ever. We look to 2019 to be our best year yet in this segment of our business.
2018 also brought new accomplishments and award recognition both locally and nationwide. We are proud of these feats, and we look forward to many more to come.

We look forward to continuing a mutually beneficial relationship for years to come with the folks at Weby Corp.
Tim Golden, US National Fishing Sales Manager, Gill North America Inc.
We have been thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, integrity and, as importantly, the success we have seen working with Weby Corp. Their team has gone above and beyond my expectations of what a Third Party partnership could be. Weby’s team routinely notifies our office when they find MAP violations with a detailed report, including screen grabs, so that we may take appropriate action. They have consistently helped us, and, consequently, all of our 3P sellers, by making useful copy suggestions to increase our success in searches on Amazon’s platform. And, they are prompt with orders, meeting all deadlines, and are prompt with payments. In a crowded market, Weby really stands out as an incredibly well-run organization. They have a real “old school” way of doing a very technologically advanced, “new-school” business. They work hard, communicate clearly and promptly, and they follow through on their promises. Truly a pleasure to do business with.
Chris Nitzsche, VP Sales, Farm to Feet

Our brand has typically been represented first and foremost through brick and mortar retailing presence. While having a strong internet focus, Weby still excels with a more traditional focus utilizing their face-to-face selling channel. They are exceptionally responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, very organized and have proven to be steadfast and easy to work with partners with a matching level of customer service commitment. We have been very pleased in our relationship with Weby.

I look forward to continuing this profitable relationship for a long time.
