'seldom or never'

by confuse mind » Fri Aug 10, 2012 8:16 pm
I read a sentence in a grammar book
The export quality tea is seldom or never used in the country.

I feel seldom and never both mean the same. No ? experts please!

You can check the meaning of seldom in the dictionary as well right?? Just check it online.

Seldom means rarely, infrequently, etc.

Never means... well never!!!
