17 days is too much but kudos to everyone involved. Hope they learn from this and create effective safety measures to prevent this kind of mishaps in future.

Bought RPi 4Bs (4GB) from thingbits and Zero 2 Ws from silverlineelectronics

Last month it was hard to find these in India, but since few days RPIs are back in stock, got a couple of Pi4s (75$ each) and Zero 2 Ws (20$ each) for myself. Checked now, they are still in stock.
