I've had the run around with NZ agents for stuff before and wasn't keen so I packaged it up with instructions and posted it to their repair address on the web site in Germany. Posted it on 20 December 2017. On 15 January 2018 (last week) I got a call from the freight company in NZ and they said that they had the package from Germany and that there was a "no charge" note in it and that customs would be releasing it to me this week. That was a 35 day turn around. Wonderful service.
So my advice is not to muck around with the NZ agent and send your binos direct to the repair address in Germany - which is on their web site.
