Some of them won't be inconvenienced at all, judging by my missus' email inbox over the last few days. A great many of the online retailers she uses have been sending out mail saying they're using couriers during the strike. And a significant number of them have said they're now switching permanently to alternative carriers.

This strike is going to turn out to be a massive, long-term own-goal by the CWU.
