We are having issues with our invoices not delivering. It's not new clients that we are having trouble contacting and it's not consistently the same client. All address are correct but are still getting kicked back as delivery issues. We also get the copied email saying the invoice was sent. Anyone else ever have this issue?

I have also found that if it is a recurring invoice, I can go to the customer and resend it. It usually goes through from there, for some reason.
I'm having the same problem.
Thanks for joining this thread, ckamp.

Yes we have been having this issue for some months now, it appears to be getting worse.
Issues happening in a random way and with customers who we have had no issues with in the past.
Quickbooks support fairly unhelpful... some suggestions included 'sending customers a screenshot' or 'posting a printed copy to the customer' !
This issue is a worry for some obvious reasons... impact on cashflow, quickbooks users reputation with their own customers... etc etc. However Intuits approach to this issue is even more of a worry.... is our data safe? Could we be put in a position where our data is inaccessible or lost? I have to say I'm really seriously worried about our reliance on this service which seems more and more fragile.

I am having the same issue? Please can someone look into this?
This is now affecting my business also. After doing a quick search I find that this issue has been occurring since February!!! I find it completely unacceptable that it's taking this long to figure out the code issue, while still being charged full price for faulty service. This is creating extra work/time and none of use are being compensated for this service failure. Love how you continue to pop up adds on additional services you want us to subscribe to when you cannot even fix the problem with the base service.
Even Microsoft isn't this bad at fixing their software
Consider having a 3rd party connector for the time being. Their specialists are standing by to onboard your needs to send your invoices and connect it to your QB Payments account.
Otherwise, explore another brand to migrate your data and purchase a 3rd party conversion service if required.
Is there a way to clear the "Needs Attention" alarm with the red stop sign and exclamation point?
Hi kevin43,
I'm here to share details about the Needs Attention alarm.
If the notification shows on the Dashboard, there's currently an investigation about it. That said, I'd suggest reaching out to our Phone Support team so we can add you as one of the affected users.
Here's how to contact us:
If it's not on the Dashboard, can you share more details on where you see it? You can also add a screenshot. I want to ensure we're on the same page so I can provide the correct solution
You can also visit our Help page for more resources on managing your QuickBooks Online account.
I'm just a post-away if you have other concerns about QuickBooks.
What is a stable alternative to QBO?
why does this say solved? This crap is not solved. We do not have the capacity to hire another person to deal with the workarounds at our volume.

We may share some options to explore. Contact us in private for details.
I wish I knew. We have had more problems in the past few years and it is very frustrating.
We have been affected by this for the last three months with a long term client who has so far received the invoice emails fine, despite the "delivery issue" notification. In one case a repeat send cleared the issue within QB online, though the client did receive multiple email copies. Another month the repeat send did not clear the issue within QB, though the client again received multiple copies.
While this continues to be unreliable, we currently therefore have to send PDF copy and/or call the client to ensure they have received the email, which as a one-off isn't too bad, but doing it every month not only wastes time but more importantly looks unprofessional. This is NOT a "solution", it is only a workaround while we wait for this to be resolved.
Hi Quickbooks,
I have had the same issue for about 3 months including 2 out of 3 invoices sent this morning.

I have been having difficulty for months with my invoice being delivered!!! We pay far too much money to be continually plagued with this issue. It is time to get this fixed. Yes, I know all about copying the link and sending via email but REALLY!!!!!! GET it Fixed or we will be taking our business elsewhere.

Glitch after glitch after glitch...the software is starting to perform terribly...you get one thing sorted and something else takes its place or just piles on to other problems. I don't know whats more irritating. the glitches or their upbeat rosy replies. Who's got the amount of time needed to be googling answers, or ringing the customer support on a regular basis, when you're running a business. This is way overpriced for what you are getting...Its time to look for other options.
