FedEx problems?

[jguengerich]

Has anyone had issues getting rate quotes from FedEx for the last couple of days? I've been seeing timeouts, service not available, etc. since Friday.

Hi Jay,

I haven't heard of any reports of FedEx having problems, and normally, we hear about this kind of stuff right away.

Here is a neat website that you can use to check on the status of their website-

The only other explanation is that your host has had some network downtime.

Hi Katie,

We're hosting internally, and weren't having any internet connection issues. I checked the fedex.com website and it always came up right away, so I think it was something specific to their rate quote system. I unselected all the FedEx shipping options (site isn't live yet) after I posted the question, and haven't tried it again, so I may be OK now.
