I to use the post office site, find its simple to use and gets most addresses without to much trouble. I'd put a link in to it if I knew how

google the address and the postcode will come up, and if your like me and forget the numbers, go on google street view and look at the house number.

i use it often, and rarely have a problem with not finding a place

 

[maccarooni]

Ok then, now I'm getting frustrated.

Thats the same one i was trying earlier.

Do I need to register first.

When i input the details, The next page asks me to put in 6 digits/numbers, as a security thingy

I then click proceed and end up back where i started..........

AHHHHHHHHH

I do remember registering years ago but don't need to log in these days although sometimes it does ask you to put a code in. I think you can do 15 searches per day. With BSI I can find addresses with there search facility.

 

[maccarooni]

Yeah Batty in the first section it says you can have 15 searches a day but I am still to find (or actually get a hit ) from the search option.

Most likely the details you are inputting are incorrect.

I use it frequently.

(Both post code & address finder)

To make sure my invoices are going to the correct address!

you don't need any registration..

but if you put in incorrect details it sometimes just goes back to your previous page without giving much additional info such as Address/Postcode not found.

Check it with your own Home address / Postcode, to make sure you are doing it right?

Postcode finder, as i have the address.

I'll have to ring em tomorrow to get it.

 

[monkey5]

not sure if the reason is because the code has to be exactly the same ie if its a capital then it has to be a capital

wayne

just tried it and its works either way capital or not. try opening ie as administrator that some times works

But you need to open IE to use it. It won't work if I try to use it through the AOL browser.

Let`s start off with the happy berfday, to the trailer boy

Well done for getting to such a ripe old age matey.

I use the royalmail postcode finder on a pretty much daily basis, and rarely have a problem (and that`s with welsh names!!!).

Have you got cookies on for that site? I`m wondering if they use `em to check you`re not a bot??
