The Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF)... :whistling
payment by paypal after file is in my possession and checked to be genuine.
PM me or reply to this thread pls
We get sent it on CD on a monthy basis :happy:
By the way, it's not secret or anything :unsure:
i sent you a PM. i really need this file but can't pay much more than $100 :dabs:
You can buy it from the post office themselves for £110.

Looking at what we get, it's encrypted so you'd need some software to make sense of it, it's probably not what you want...
that link u gave me has £110 min license fee, then further "supply charges"...Quote:

No :blushing:
I just read the small print. :pinch:
EDIT: Our company gets theirs from a company called QAS.
I don't know much about pricing though. It depends what you want.
is there any chance you could help me get your encrypted file as well as your decrypting program?
£395 is the cheapest I can find.

I'm thinking that what we have would be no good to you, because I'm guessing you want to do something like a large direct marketing campaign, which
1). I don't agree with in principle
and
2). What we use only lets us do individual postcode/address lookups, it doesn't give us access to the entire database at once. Therefore it'd be no good for you.
Also I don't want to get into trouble with my company or our suppliers, sorry! ;)
To be honest, when I first saw your thread I thought you were making a joke :dabs:
barbz - ever heard of filesharing?
no joke, and i only want it to help me dynamically link up different pages in a website to other relevant pages (eg postcodes to street names...etc)
offer of $100 still stands for anyone who can get me this file
My brother works at the post office. :smilie4:
okay... so can you help? o_0
No, but it sounds hawt :cool:Quote:

Why would someone resident in the UK, wanting the UK post codes be offering to pay for it in $US via paypal.
Sounds like some kind of scam to me.

yes people have this strange idea that we just go into work and pick up the mail and deliver it. no i am in a town centre office with a high percentage of coffin dodgers for customers. and finally i did have a black and white cat but i run over it in the yard with my shiny red van. the end :)Quote:

So you do actually sort it, then go round the streets with your sack over your shoulder delivering the mail.
Cool, I feel we are somehow connected, what with me currently reading Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. True Story.
yes usually about 6 bags of mail a day mostly made up of junk mail and magazines and i just googled that book and the story looks like an interesting read .
ya 10 pages of 'good luck' 'nice giveaway' and a pm box full of 'ftn for sct' (or whatever you kids are trading these days :snooty:).:rolleyes:Quote:
