Intuit’s Quickbooks and website and credit card processing is down.
June 16th, 2010Good morning,
If you use intuit’s Quickbooks, you may have noticed it is currently not working, do not worry, it is not your computer but an issue at Intuit. They are aware of the issue and are working to correct it. A visit to their website www.intuit.com shows a 404 Error. Intuit’s twitter page shows the follwing message:
We apologize for the inconvenience in accessing a number of Intuit websites. We’re working the problem and will restore full service ASAP.
It looks like Intuit UK is also experiencing the problem according to their twitter page:
Problems with #Intuit and #QuickBooks website shopping cart? Call our sales team to complete transaction on 0808 168 9535
From what we can tell from a post on one of Intuit’s facebook pages, it appears the intuit site and quickbooks processing has been down since last night some time.

USPS Press Release: Service Resumes for International Mail to Haiti
May 4th, 2010Service Resumes for International Mail to Haiti
Support to Haiti Post Continues
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service resumed international mail service to the nation of Haiti today as efforts to restore limited postal services gain momentum in the wake of the devastating earthquake in January that destroyed much of Haiti Post’s infrastructure and service capacity.
A temporary hold issued Jan. 15 for mail accepted for delivery to Haiti has been lifted, and air transport of international letters and packages from the U.S. has resumed, allowing mail volumes to begin flowing to Haiti as airlift and operational capacity expand. The U.S. Postal Service has continued to accept mail for Haiti and held it for delivery at five International Service Centers. Over 2,000 pounds of international mail will be entered into Haiti throughout the week.
The reopening of mail service from the U.S. to Haiti is part of a comprehensive effort to reestablish routine and secure service through national posts around the world, increasing the ability to transport shipments of food, supplies and other essentials.
“Establishing mail service for the people of Haiti is critical to the overall recovery effort,” said Pranab Shah, managing director and vice president, Global Business. “We are very pleased to resume transportation of mail into Port-au-Prince, and will continue to support the recovery efforts of Haiti Post.”
As part of a global response led by the Universal Postal Union (UPU), the United Nations agency overseeing international mail exchanges, the U.S. Postal Service has provided vehicles, equipment and supplies to support Haiti Post in its efforts to reestablish service. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has been involved extensively in these efforts and is continuing to provide security assessments, facility restoration planning and related expertise.
International mail services offered by the Postal Service to destinations in Haiti are Express Mail International, Priority Mail International, and First Class Mail International.
Customers can monitor the status of their shipments on usps.com or contact Customer Service at 1-800-222-1811. Additional information and updates are posted online at: International Service Updates.
