Yeah things like this are inconvenient and as painful as they seem to be. That strike will be over eventually. For post customers it's a waiting game.
This is so true @Pulsegleaner. When I first started gardening I wanted maximum sized packets as some kind of default setting in my mind, I don't know why. I suppose for bush beans and peas that still makes sense for me, but I used to wonder with some seed companies why only 10 -15 seeds for a tomato or pepper? It seemed too little. Then after a few years of saving seeds I realized exactly what you've written here. I have never grown 25 tomato plants of a single variety! And I almost never grow the same variety of anything year to year unless I struggled somewhat with it. Same with most beans. I didn't really need that much seed, and I'd prefer a surplus of my own seed anyway for future plantings. It's always nice to have a little cushion of extra seed in the packet in case you do need to try again, but generally I bet there are thousands of gardeners with seed packets that they never fully used in their storage compartments.
