The latest timeouts seem to be gone, and we haven't seen an SSL error from them in about 16 hours.

Update
Many FedEx rate requests are currently timing out. We're investigating if this is related to the SSL issue we've been monitoring on their end or something new.

Update
We're still seeing SSL errors connecting to certain FedEx backend servers on about 5-20% of requests. Repeated attempts to enlist FedEx's help to resolve the issue have been fruitless so far. We're continuing to monitor but because we're seeing this across the board on our end, and only on a small percentage of requests on FedEx's end, we still believe the cause is a misconfiguration of a subset of FedEx's Web Service backends.

Update
FedEx is now returning an error message beginning with "Remote EJB method: getRates not called. Unable to create the remote bean..." that you'll see occasionally in your shipment.messages after creation. We've brought this to their attention but no resolution or commitment has been made as of yet.

Monitoring
We're receiving empty responses from FedEx to about 20% of our requests, the remainder appear to be going through correctly. We'll continue to monitor but it does not appear to be an issue with any of EasyPost's systems.

Investigating
We've received reports from customers unable to buy FedEx shipments due to an outage on FedEx's end.
