Kangu (freight app) is down and Shopify backup rates are not kicking in!?

This has happened a lot lately - Shopify needs to fix this! People with a filled cart are all ready to smash the buy button and they cannot!? Sucks - and expensive for the paying Shopify shop owners.

What can be done to mitigate this in the future?

How can I get a notification when all freight is down?
