That is good to hear!  Please share some details.

Given that the metal box is relatively new, I am not surprised that one 
in particular was harder to get.

At #debian-in have several times been met with the argument that those 
boards were not possible to get in India.  Given my appreciation for 
those boards, I would love to be able to help point to resellers in 
India.
