Is EasyPost down?

This page keeps two claims apart: what EasyPost reports about USPS, FedEx and UPS on its own status page, and what Shipzil's own rate request to EasyPost's production API actually returned. Across 62 days of Shipzil's own checks, 17,526 of 17,545 rate requests to EasyPost's production API (99.89%) returned a bookable rate, with a median response of 1,924ms and a 95th percentile of 4,739ms.

EasyPost questions

Is EasyPost down right now?
Shipzil reads EasyPost's own status page every 5 minutes and, separately, sends a domestic US rate request to EasyPost's production API. The current reading of both is at the top of this page and refreshes without reloading. A failed Shipzil check that EasyPost has not acknowledged is shown as a failure it did not report, not as a declared outage.
Is it EasyPost or the carrier?
Check whether other platforms report the same carrier. If only EasyPost reports a USPS, FedEx or UPS problem, it is most likely EasyPost's integration with that carrier. If platforms from two or more independent companies report it at the same time, it is more likely the carrier.
How reliable is the EasyPost API?
Across 62 days of Shipzil's own checks, 17,526 of 17,545 rate requests to EasyPost's production API (99.89%) returned a bookable rate, with a median response of 1,924ms and a 95th percentile of 4,739ms. By EasyPost's own incident reports, 90-day carrier uptime was USPS 99.65%, FedEx 99.99%, UPS 99.84%. The measured figure is one fixed request path from one account, not EasyPost's overall performance; the reported figure only counts outages EasyPost published.
