Replacement Cam and Hex Slings

In order to use this service please send your cams to us at:

Aspiring Safety
Attn: Re-sling Department
340B Wilsons Road
Waltham Christchurch 8053
New Zealand

Once we receive the cams it usually takes 2-3 days to re-sling. When complete we will email you a link to pay online via credit card or PayPal. Inside your package please include a phone number, email address, and return shipping address.

• Double or single cam sling extenders.
• Variety of colours.
• We do our best to match up colours with the original cam slings, please leave your current slings on there so we can match.
• 13mm Dyneema webbing.
  • 16mm Nylon webbing is also available upon request
• Strength rating 22kN.

Shipping Information – Important

• Declare them as repairs not goods to save any customs dramas. Marking the declared value less than $400 will also potentially avoid them being held up by customs.
• We recommend completing and attaching the following form to the outside of your parcel.
  • Google Sheets – Open link and select file -> make a copy (need a google account)
  • PDF Version – Print and fill out by hand.
• After you send them let us know the tracking # (if applicable) and your contact info.

Due to the weight of the cams the cost of replacement cam slings doesn’t count towards our usual $120 free freight offer but we will ship them back for free with any other order that does. Your order and the cams must be shipped back at the same time. If you would like to take advantage of this offer just place an order before we ship your cams back with a note askiing us to bundle the two. Your entire order will be shipped by NZ Post International Courier.

Sling Colours

If you would like a certain colour on each cam please label prior to sending. See above for current colour options as they do change from time to time. If no labels are found we typically try to match the existing sling colour.

Sling Style & Material

By default we now sew any “cable loop” style cams using the BD double layer method. We’re still happy to stich them with double loops if requested but will double check before doing any work. For tricams we typically try to match the length, width and style of the existing slings.

Nylon slings are also possible but we are a bit more limited on the available colours:

• 16mm Tubular Nylon – Green, Blue, Purple
• 20mm Flat Nylon – Gold, Blue, Red

Hexes

Hexes too small to be threaded with 13mm Dyneema will use 10mm instead. This has the same strength rating when tested to the requirements of EN 566.

Wash Your Gear

We recently had a climber have their cams held for over 2 weeks for biosecurity assessment before being delivered to us. Not sure if it was due to the cams being dirty or just bad luck but to be safe please wash your gear before shipping just in case.

Return Freight to Australia

Free Return Shipping Offer

If you would like to take advantage of the free return shipping please place a separate order of $120 or more and add a note on checkout asking for the order to be bundled with your cams. Be sure to select the free shipping option on checkout. As an added bonus and because the order is being sent back with your cams both orders are also upgraded to the “express shipping” service.

Lost Return Packages / Insurance

We have yet to see any return shipments go missing 🤞 and hopefully we never will but just in case here’s what your gear is covered for. By default shipments are insured for up to $2000. Additional insurance up to $5000 is available for $15. Please note that as we are returning used gear we have no say in what NZ Post will value the gear at. We are happy to declare the returned goods at a specified value (declare on the repair form). More information on the amount covered can also be found via the following link.
