Is Shippo down?

This page keeps two claims apart: what Shippo reports about USPS, FedEx and UPS on its own status page, and what Shipzil's own rate request to Shippo's production API actually returned. Across 62 days of Shipzil's own checks, 17,544 of 17,545 rate requests to Shippo's production API (99.99%) returned a bookable rate, with a median response of 2,053ms and a 95th percentile of 3,890ms.

Shippo questions

Is Shippo down right now?
Shipzil reads Shippo's own status page every 5 minutes and, separately, sends a domestic US rate request to Shippo's production API. The current reading of both is at the top of this page and refreshes without reloading. A failed Shipzil check that Shippo has not acknowledged is shown as a failure it did not report, not as a declared outage.
Is it Shippo or the carrier?
Check whether other platforms report the same carrier. If only Shippo reports a USPS, FedEx or UPS problem, it is most likely Shippo'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 Shippo API?
Across 62 days of Shipzil's own checks, 17,544 of 17,545 rate requests to Shippo's production API (99.99%) returned a bookable rate, with a median response of 2,053ms and a 95th percentile of 3,890ms. By Shippo's own incident reports, 90-day carrier uptime was USPS 94.60%, FedEx 95.68%, UPS 93.31%. The measured figure is one fixed request path from one account, not Shippo's overall performance; the reported figure only counts outages Shippo published.
