    It didn't like my postcode either. I tried all sorts of ways to get into the site with old postcode as well as new (our are had a letter added recently) still nothing worked. I even tried Firefox as well as IE to no avail. However, when I tried my old postcode at work (5 mile away) it was fine! Therefore it might be worth you trying a different postcode a couple of miles away. You can get one from the post office website if you don't have a valid one to hand.

  • I get problems with "page not responding" coming up a lot. I think sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - maybe depending on how much traffic the site has???
    Its a great tool when you can get it working.

    It is working fine for me 100% of the time and I use it quite a lot, make sure there are no spaces in the postcode and always click the search button rather than pressing enter. Bearing in mind that this site forwards you to eBay this means if eBay are having problems then the local bargain finder will also have problems but like I say i've never had a problem with it.
