I am very frustraited with the difficulty JUST to get get an invoice?  Anyone else have this problem

 

1) I look at Arlo.com with no invoice option.

2) Look at the support site and told that I need to contact support to get an invoice

3) I call, but there is no customer support opition, just technical support.

 

It should not be so hard JUST to get an invoice!!!

 

To add insult to injury I was asked to fill out a form to indicate how satisfied I am with the website.  Well, that provided an error and did not take my response.

And welcome to the roundabout that is Arlo. By the way you will only get 2 months invoice if you are lucky......not the full year! Really business-friendly 😐 Its okay though, they are developing a solution but have decided not to tell us when that is, how it will look, ways to access it or even getting customer feedback! They will just take you subscription fee and leave you in the **bleep**ing dark! This is now gone beyond a joke ARLO!

One more month without any invoice and the support is not answering back for over a month.

Second month in a row that I don't receive a bill.  To add to the fun, the phone support isn't working at all.  When you make a selection in the phone tree they just send you back to the main menu. SOOO frustrating!

Same here, 2 months now without an invoice.  Are they working to resolve the issue?

I had to call again for an invoice. The agent inferred that I will need to request it again next month but assured me their engineers are working on a solution. Same story I've been getting since August. Given that e-commerce is a mature technology you wouldn't think automatically sending a receipt would be such a challenge for this company. I'm giving it one more month to see if they actually do something with this of not, then I cancel my subscription.

Hi Jessica 

I have try to contact support but with no success because that is no direct channel to economy part that can send a bill with proper information with VAT information and cost with VAT and the procent of the VAT .

 

I need information from start of my account.

 

That can not be so difficult to send a normal billing information in a separat format as can be useful for the tax system for company ?.

 

In the best worlds a PDF

I was in contact with the tech support of my region again. He told me that there was a change yesterday so the invoice system should work now. I did not get any invoice for November either so he should send the case to the billing department to resent the invoices to me.

I am pretty sure that @JessicaP cannot help in all those cases but as I understand there is a fix that they are working with. The only this that I can advice you all is to check with your local tech support by phone to get the invoices you are missing.

Facing same problem, I can't get an invoice and also two months not receiving receipts. My accountant asks for invoices or at least receipts. Tried to reach Support, but no luck with that. Please, help me to solve this too.

Hello,

We stopped receiving receipts for the payments. Our accountant requires receipts or invoices. Tried to reach Support, but seems like online support doesn't work. Also, can't find any receipts or ways to get an invoice in my account panel. So, please help me to get the receipts or invoices.

Thank you

For the first year of having Arlo I received a monthly invoice mailed to my registered email address, but that suddenly stopped. I've hunted all over the site and I can't find anywhere to download my invoice or readjust my settings to continue getting invoices automatically emailed to me.

 

We are a non-profit organization, and I have to have all invoicing as back up for our auditors. I don't understand why it's so difficult to get an invoice, you have no difficulty taking my money.

I have opened tickets for the past two months requesting an invoice and still have never received any. The first month, they asked for my personal information, which they really either should have, or not even need to provide an invoice. One I provided that, i heard nothing else. The second month I opened the ticket and included the same info they requested originally. I finally received an actual response which said how sorry they were and that the issue was forward to the appropriate team. They said they would update me right away once they received a response but I have not heard anything. 

I was told that email invoices were stopped because invoices would soon be made available through my account. They are not, and I do not understand why email invoices would be stopped before the new system was in place.

I am now in need of invoices for Aug, Sept, and Oct. I can not waste time opening tickets each month asking for invoices and not get them. The next billing cycle is coming up and I am inclined to cancel my subscription as to save the headache yet again. 

I understand that this is not the proper channel for support, but I have tried that already. If I cannot get resolution, at least others may get some insight.

HI, 

 

The only way I've been successful in getting an invoice is to call the support and actually talk to someone. It takes at least an hour but persistence will pay off. I'd love an explanation from this company why it chooses to tell it's subscribing customers one thing and do another.

According to Arlo support "Please be informed that we have made a business decision to not send invoices since August 15 2020 automatically to customer's emails." Seriously? I need the invoices for business expenses like most everyone else on this post. The last two months I've had to request invoices be sent -- that takes my time and support's time. Why? For what? I thought there was a problem with treating the email as spam, but finally got the answer above today. For two months support told me that I should be receiving the invoice automatically. I think one part of Arlo wasn't talking to another part.

 

Allow users to opt in to automatic invoice emails!!

Hello maimee_bergeson and everyone,

 

If you want your invoice or receipt, please let the Support Team know whether you need a monthly invoice and/or certain dates. You will find several options for contacting support in the provided link.

Yes, I understand support will send invoices. The last two months I had to contact support, make a ticket, and a day or two later support emailed me the invoice(s).  I (and others on this post) don't want to do that every month! Arlo decided in August to stop automatic emails (without notifying their user base, or apparently telling their own support team) -- obviously I'm not alone is saying that was a bad move.  Please get the website updated (it seems this was previously promised?) so users can opt-in to get the automatic emails just as we got prior to August. Better yet, just restart the automatic email.

There is no logic behind removing customers access to having invoices for every transaction.

It would be amazing if Arlo could provide us with a decent answer on why we shouldn’t have invoices.

I never heard of a company refusing to provide customers with a legal proof of a purchase.

Any business customer of Arlo are in severe account problems because of Arlo removing invoices

Arlo : pls explain the reason for this

I think an explanation is in order. Why was the practice of automatically emailing invoices stopped? Is it going to be restarted or is there going to be an alternative way to obtain an invoice without having to spend hours contacting support? Can you give a straight answer that doesn't include a link to customer support?
