Then I received an email that the seller is on holidays and not back until next week (another 2 days wasted), then I received an automated message informing me of delays due to the strikes. I'm not complaining as such, more amused at the sequence of events You know when you get a "feeling" that something is not going to go smoothly from the start?

I must admit I did not hear about it until tonight. I thought postal services only went on strike a week before Xmas? Or is that just an Australian thing?
Too many sequence of errors, i expect some stock issues more than delays, don't put any feedback on the seller until you know it is on its way to OZ.
