I concur with Glen's assessment that some of these services can be unstable. Not long after writing NebulaShip (nospamNebula-RnD.com/products/ship.htm) I realized that even though the product was stable that we might be getting emergency calls when services were down. I stopped advertising the product, we're not currently selling it, and unless there is significant demand for some of the less critical functions (lookups, confirmations) I may withdraw it entirely. Make sure you have backup providers for critical services.
