More Shipping Options. More Pre-Book Savings.

Happy Fall everyone!
I wanted to share a few updates we’re making at Sky Manufacturing. These changes are centered around something we’re always working toward: giving you more options, more flexibility, and more ways to get the right product at the right price.
More Shipping Options — The Choice Is Yours
Until now, Standard Air has been the only shipping option available on B2B to select when placing orders with Sky. Starting today, you’ll have three options to choose from based on your timeline and budget:
Express Air | 3–5 Days Transit
Our new fastest option for those times when you need product quickly.
Standard Air | 9–12 Days Transit
This remains our normal and default freight option. Nothing is changing about the service you already know, and Standard Air freight pricing will remain unchanged — and in some cases, will actually be lower.
Economy Ocean | 24–32 Days Transit
Our new most economical option for customers who have more flexibility with their timeline and want to maximize savings.
As always, Sky handles duties and customs clearance on all three options. You won’t receive a separate bill for duties or import fees when your order arrives.
Pre-Book Orders Can Now Save Even More
By planning ahead and choosing Economy Ocean for qualifying pre-book orders, we’re able to pass the freight savings directly back to you. That can mean nearly 3% in additional pre-book savings simply by allowing more time for your order to arrive.
Need it fast? Choose Express Air.
Want our normal freight option? Choose Standard Air.
Have the time and want to maximize savings? Choose Economy Ocean.
More Options in Fleece, Too
You may have noticed that last week we launched two new styles:
Unisex Lightweight Terry Hoodie
Unisex Lightweight Terry Crew
We were intentional with this launch. Our Poly-Cotton fleece is intentionally a premium, top-of-market product, and we want to keep it that way. At the same time, we knew there was an opportunity to offer something at a more accessible price point that still met our standards for quality.
That led us to the Lightweight Terry silhouettes.
It gives you a value-focused option in the middle while also being lighter, more versatile, and easier to sell year-round. We think it fills an important gap in our assortment and gives you another option depending on your customer and target price point.
Cotton Fleece Pricing Update
The timing of that launch is also important because we're seeing increased costs on our Poly-Cotton fleece products.
Effective today, pricing is changing on four cotton styles:
| Style | SKU | Previous | New |
|
Unisex Crew |
UCOTCN |
$19.22 |
$21.47 |
|
Unisex Hoodie |
UCOTH |
$21.42 |
$24.52 |
|
Women's Drop Shoulder Hoodie |
UDSH |
$21.93 |
$23.45 |
|
Women's Drop Shoulder Crew |
UDSCN |
$18.89 |
$19.98 |
Between the addition of Lightweight Terry and the launch of Economy Ocean, you now have more ways to manage your costs — whether that's through the product you choose, how far ahead you order, or how you choose to ship it.
That’s ultimately what these changes are about: more choice in your hands. Manufacturing Made Easy!
Thank you, as always, for your business and for trusting our team at Sky! We’re grateful to work with you and excited to keep finding ways to make Sky better for your business.
