Well, 2 pairs of glasses (even progressive lenses ones) are not usually classed as dangerous, and these are optically powered - no batteries - so that's one escape clause invalidated 
Everything about the journey is fine up to the time it leaves customs and goes to NZPost depot is good, then it all turns to postal purgatory.
The bit that gets my dander up is this :
"With courier for delivery. 07:39am,06 June 2020, Auckland
Your item is with a courier for delivery. "
That is still the current report from NZPost Tracking Service. A pensioner on a pushbike would get it across China at least a year quicker than it is taking to get across Auckland.The van ride is possibly going better than the inanities coming from customer services.
Needless to say, the Chinese seller is still refusing to consider my complaint until I send him a photo of the missing goods. I suggested I could send him photographs or even oil paintings if he sends helpful instructions - just not by NZPost.
