Don't think most employees would know. I'm guessing it depends on demand, for eg, if demand kept sky high and shipments were always months after ordering, it probably wouldn't go on the portal anytime soon
 
Are you saying that as an employee or are you speculating? I’m basically curious how long it takes for a new item to appear on the portal.
