Zanders Sporting Goods

Who they are

Zanders Sporting Goods has been supplying the shooting sports trade from Baldwin, Illinois since 1962 — the founding year their own flying-duck logo still carries. The company grew out of Glenn Zanders' fur and sporting goods business and remains privately held.

Zanders is 100% wholesale. They sell to the trade and only to the trade, which is exactly the relationship an independent FFL wants from a distributor: no house retail arm competing with your website for the same customer.

Their catalog runs broad across firearms, ammunition and outdoor sporting goods, and they style themselves as America's Distribution Company.

How we connect your store to their inventory

Scheduled data feeds from your Zanders dealer account, with a direct ordering connection on top.

• Catalog with manufacturer, model and UPC matching
• On-hand quantities refreshed through the day
• Your dealer pricing
• New-item detection, so fresh stock appears without you asking

Dealers running Zanders Sporting Goods on FFL Stack currently see roughly 36,000 items, with about 27,000 in stock at any time.

Ordering and dropship

Dropship orders route from the order page in your dashboard — you pick the source, we send the purchase order, and tracking comes back onto the customer's order automatically. Firearms dispositions write to your Bound Book as they move, so the compliance record keeps itself.

What it looks like in your shop

You connect with your own Zanders dealer account, so your negotiated pricing stays yours. Products appear on your website, out-of-stock items drop off, and the same inventory record backs your counter — sell it once, in either place, and both stay right.
