Do bags always clear customs in AKL?

If the passengers came a day earlier, any guess how quickly will unaccompanied bags [not freight] ticketed to CHC get processed?
Your friends are lucky - baggage handlers contracted by Air NZ are universally EXTREMELY poor at service around the world, particularly in the US and UK - so being handled by the airline itself is a plus. The phone number in Auckland connects with some pretty helpful old guys.
On a *nearly* related topic: One of the baggage staff at AKL told me a slightly fishy tale couple of months back that allegedly there is a chap working at Heathrow who is dyslexic and they expect a % of misloaded bags on every flight from LHR - mostly involving L.A bound bags being sent all the way to Auckland, or bags tagged for domestic NZ destinations heading to more 'exotic' destinations. He suggested that Abuja was one of the more frequent ones...
Do update us if there is a happy ending!
