Experian Security Freeze Question

Does anyone know how long it takes for a temporary removal of a security freeze of an Experian report takes to become effective if done online?  I tried to pull my credit reports with a 3-in-1 service through Equifax and the pull failed.  After calling them, they stated it was due to a credit freeze on my Experian report.  I went to the Experian site and unlocked it from 06/10 to 6/13, but I am still unable to pull my report an hour later.  I thought that the unfreeze was immediate.  Does anyone else have experience with this?

Instantly if you have the PIN and pay the $10.00 fee.

It was $5 when I did it and it was already charged to my credit card.  However, its an hour later and it is still not working.  Tried calling Experian but I can not get anyone on the phone, completely automated.
