Deliver work on a fixed-price contract and the customer does not respond

Let me explain the situation better. A client placed an order for one of my article writing projects. Prior to the delivery of the job, the client responded quickly to all my messages. Once I delivered a preview of the work, he stopped replying to my messages. Then, when I saw that he did not respond, I delivered the final work as a revision so as not to damage my reputation on UpWork.

 

It's been a couple of days and the client still hasn't responded, so the confirmation of delivery of the job is pending, and consequently, the payment has not been released to my UpWork account. I have searched for information, but have not found anything. If any forum moderator could give me an answer to my problem, I would be very grateful!

Hi Daniel,

 

Once you submit your work, your client has 14 days to review and either approve or ask for changes. If your client takes no action for 14 days, the funds are automatically released to you.

Understood, my question has been answered. It would be nice if Upwork had an initiative to contact the client. This can simply cause many freelancers to have a bad experience within the platform.

Thank you very much for your answer Andrea!

That's fine.

Clients are not obligated to respond.

 

I get paid automatically if the client doesn't respond.

And with some clients, no response is the best response.
