Welcome to the Apple Community.

When I send them they arrive in seconds.

Ask the recipient to check Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

Also see if you are able to resend the email by following these steps.

If the problem persists, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Like others, the email didn't go through after about an hour. I tried the link provided above -- Your Purchase History -- and was able to retrieve the code. Email still not received, but at least I could share the code so it could be redeemed. (This was my way to add a credit to my iTS account. I gifted myself. But it seemed like the sender of the gift code would be able to see it.) YMMV

I just looked at my own account -- and it no longer shows the code. Maybe it showed the code that *one* time because I was also the recipient -- or perhaps because I was the sender and the code hadn't been redeemed yet. If you're the recipient, try going to the iTunes store, going to the account area, and seeing if the code is shown there somewhere . . . maybe under gifts.


Otherwise, I don't know. Good luck.
