So the webpage we use at work, fmcdealer.com was completely shut down Monday. We would try to go to it and get "the farm is unavailable" instead of the page. It came back midday Tuesday but with some of the applications only partially working. Worst part about the whole thing was we couldn't check parts availability, look up recalls, or order parts on Monday.
On the Discussion Board on the page the webmaster said that the server farm in Dearborn flooded. They do have offsite backup servers however whatever they use to transfer processing off site was underwater in the basement.
Mazda also had a "scheduled maintenance" on their webpage that started midday Monday and apparently is still ongoing. Makes no sense to do it during business hours. So we weren't able to order parts from Mazda on Monday. Wednesday is our next order day so we placed our orders expecting a big shipment today. No freight today, according to Mazda "just because you place an order and receive a confirmation of order does not mean your order was received and confirmed" thanks guys.
