I paid contractors using QuickBooks bill pay via mail, but contractors have not received payment yet. How long should it take?

Hello Lisa,

Welcome to the Community. I can clarify things about mailing a check payment to a vendor using QuickBooks Bill Pay.

For Check bill payments, the estimated processing times for the delivery is 10-12 business days. They'll also receive an email twice.

The first email will notify the vendor that you scheduled a bill payment to them. The second email is a notification that the payment is on its way and when to expect the bill payment.

Also, did you know you can make a stop check request in QuickBooks Bill Pay? I have a link here you can use as a reference on the process: Learn about QuickBooks Bill Pay.

Another option, you can signup for a Melio account for free to integrate with QBO. Fast checks are sent in 3 days via FedEx, instead of USPS’s regular delivery time of 5-7 days.
