About

Read about who we are and how we can work together if you’re interested in reselling, promoting or featuring handSteady, or buying on bulk for healthcare or as corporate gifts.

Why we’re well placed to assist you

Hello, my name is Chris Peacock, and I set up handSteady Ltd to help people get a better quality of life by drinking easier with handSteady cups.

Since 2012, we’ve helped thousands of people to drink easier in over 30 countries. Our solution is patented, meaning we’re the only company producing cups with Rotatable Handles.

We’ve been featured by NBC News, BBC News, Reader’s Digest, Forbes, Discovery News, Channel 5 France,

The Huffington Post and The Guardian. And our solution has won multiple awards.

We have a wide network of resellers, affiliates, health experts, hospitals and charities who refer patients to handSteady daily.

Producing your cups

handSteady cups are produced in compliance with ISO9001 quality standards using food and drink safe material (the cup is made from polypropelene, and has a silicon seal).

An injection moulding process is used to create a very precise high quality product. This is important because for the Rotatable Handle mechanism to smoothly rotate, the dimensions need to be accurate to half the width of a human hair. It also means the rim of the cup and the rim of the Hidden Lid is smooth to touch.

The cups are then hand assembled, checked and tested using rigorous testing procedures led by highly profficient engineers. Once created, we place the cups in packaging with illustrated instructions on how to use the cups and referral cards to make it easy for you to let others know about the product.

We then pack the cups in strong packing boxes and ship them to our distribution centre in the UK.

Delivering your order

We deliver your order direct from our distribution centre in the UK. The address is handSteady Ltd, The Distribution Centre, Princes Drive, Kenilworth, CV8 2FD. If you order on our website, your order details will be sent across to the distribution team. If you order via email if you are an organisation ordering by purchase order, we’ll email your order to the distribution team.

Once they receive your order, they’ll pick, pack and post your order. We use first class mail and priority air mail for small order quantities, and courier shipping for larger order quantities. For bulk orders we also provide the products ex works either from our distribution centre or from our production facility in China. You can then organise freight forwarding or we can do this for you.

We aim to despatch your order the day we receive it if you place your order before 1pm. For larger order quantities we have a 6 week lead time (or 8 weeks during national orders) for producing the cups, then if delivering via the UK, a further 6 weeks for shipping time by boat, or 1 week if delivering by air freight.

Delivery times are estimated to be 2-3 weeks worldwide, 1-2 weeks for Europe and 1-4 days for UK orders.

Why order direct from us

The main benefit of ordering from us if you’re a consumer is that we offer a 90 day 100% money back guarantee. This gives you an extended period to try the cup at home, giving it a chance over the period of a number of weeks and not feel stressed about needing to quickly return it for a refund.

Our return policy for consumer orders is that we will refund your order including shipping, but excluding your shipping cost to return it. If the return cost to ship it is expensive due to international shipping, just get in touch as we can arrange a refund without returning it, but we ask that you donate the cup to someone who could benefit from it.

You’ll also get the cups at the manufacturers price and they won’t be inflated. Resellers like to order direct from us, particularly those who order larger quantities, as they get a good price, we deliver quickly, have a relatively low minimum order quantity and offer an easy net-30 day payment term. Resellers also get free sample cups to evaluate before placing orders.

Healthcare organisations order direct from us due to getting a discount, as well as an opportunity in most cases for getting a free sample cup to evaluate before placing the order

The story behind our search for a solution

My interest in finding a solution for drinking easier began when a family member developed a hand tremor. I saw their cup shake with their hand, and became concerned about spills and burns.

At the time I was at the Royal College of Art studying industrial design, so I started resarching and developing a solution. I went on to work with over 100 health professionals and individuals. Finally, all the hard work paid off.

We discovered that the biggest problem with normal cups is that handles are fixed in a single position. This requires high levels of dexterity and stability - which causes hardship for many people.

So we created a new way to drink easier without expensive trips to the doctor, changes in medication, surgery or physical therapy.

Just a simple cup, with several innovations, including a unique Rotatable Handle which addresses problems with normal cups.
