Call them up and check where is it stuck. Mine got stuck after Customs as "damaged" for assessment because the Customs may have opened the original packing to check things - some bright spark thought the package was damaged as it seemed open! It took a few phone calls to expedite things. Call CourierPost/NZPost but talk to their international packages area. They should be able to trace it from there.
