The Royal Mail Postcode finder is free to use, for up to 20 searches per day.

If you need more than 20 a day, then it is likely that you are pulling down addresses for direct mail or telecanvassing purposes. For that you need a clean list that conforms with strict rules about not including people who have registered with the TPS and MPS opt-out registers. Contravene that and you face a fine of £5,000.

I'd like to hear from the author what his/her justification is for this chargeable service.

I am certain that zip codes can alos be retrieved fro free in the USA.

Talk about sweeping statements..

I need to check more than 20 a day to update my address book. It's not more than likely anyone needing to do this is a telemarketeer.

Point taken about the requirements for list cleaning for marketing etc.

But don't dismiss a useful product because of this and dont insult all customers with a legitimate need for more than 20 searches a day.
