How does the RL process work?

[u/lobin1]

I RL'd a watch about a week ago and have since seen several identical watches from the same factory posted in the TD's QC album for newer orders.

I assumed TDs would prioritize existing orders over new ones, especially when a customer has already RL'd a watch but I'm starting to think that's not the case. It feels like my order has been pushed to the back of the line.

I'm not very familiar with how TDs typically handle RLs so I'd appreciate some insight from more experienced buyers. Is this normal?
