Replacement parts may seem costly compared to the cup itself, but there are several factors that influence the price. Every spare part — whether it’s a lid, plug, band, or glass component — goes through the same supply chain process as the full KeepCup. This includes manufacturing, quality control, warehousing, picking, packing, and shipping. Managing and storing many different parts across a global inventory adds complexity and cost, which is reflected in the price you pay for a single item.
Another factor is sustainability and durability. KeepCup doesn’t mass-produce throwaway items — each part is designed to be long-lasting, food-safe, and compatible with existing cups. Producing in smaller runs, with high standards, ensures your replacement part will perform and extend the life of your KeepCup rather than sending it to landfill.
To get the most value, we recommend bundling replacement parts with other items — such as a new KeepCup, gift, or accessory — to reach the free freight threshold. This way, you reduce the relative shipping cost and get more from your order.
Replacement parts are priced not just for the material itself but for the logistics, sustainability standards, and convenience of keeping your KeepCup in use for years. While it may seem like a small piece, the process behind delivering it to you is much bigger.
