    Default USPS not returning rates

    I'm seeing:

    An error occurred in obtaining USPS shipping quotes.
    If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please try refreshing this page, or contact the store owner.

    across multiple sites so looks like a USPS issue. Any way to notify them or confirm they didn't just change something without telling us first?

    Yes, they were down for about 45 minutes this afternoon according to the outage report I received.
    Outage Report: USPS API went offline at 2016-12-07 18:01 EST then came back online at 2016-12-07 18:46 EST and has been stable for 3 minutes.
