Dealers are informed of their allocation monthly (around the middle of the month) and it tells them what week they'll get allocation and how much they'll get. Then, in the weeks that were specified in the allocation report, they can actually place the orders.

and this as well as how these allocations are decided, is where all the chaos, head scratching and frustration begins!
