Instructions for First Time Users & Category List

(The following  might seem a bit long winded, but it is worth reading once for you'll then get maximum benefit from the site)

1. In the "Service or Product" box, type in the first key word or words (in the singular) of the product or service that you  require - e.g. for "garden centres" you could type "garden" or "garden centre".     ( Click Here for a list of categories)

2. In the "Postcode" box, type the first 2, 3, 4 or 5 letters/numbers of your postcode. (Depending upon how near 2 U you wish to search)  - We recommend that you start with your own "post code district".  For example -YO61 OR S12.  

NOTE -     a) In the event that there are no businesses listed, either expand the search area by reducing the postcode to to the "post code area" e.g YO61 becomes YO (with no numbers) or try a different description of the product or service. If you still can't find a business try adjoining postcode areas, towns or cities

    b) In the event that too many inappropriate businesses appear, you can either return to to the search page and expand the description, or reduce the area that you are searching by expanding your postcode to the first number of your "post code sector". This will find a business very near to you.  For example - from YO61 expand your entry to YO61 3 if, say, you are YO61 3LG

    c) Only the following limited postcode areas are available at this time - YO, WF & LS (See General Comments below)

3. If you don't know the postcode, or are looking for something in another part of the country, insert the name of the Town or City. (NOTE - We apologise, but this web site is new, so it will be a bit "thin" to start with and full National searches will not be available until later this year)

4. If you wish to buy or sell second hand goods privately - click the  "Near-buy"  button - to advertise it is currently free for items less than £1,000.

5. If you are looking for clubs, societies, local events, sport, non-profit making leisure organisations, or charities, -  click the  "Your local services" button.

6. For a special search for cars, jobs, property or on-line shopping near 2 U, you can click the appropriate button. (More cars or property can also be found by searching for "car sales" or "estate agents" respectively.)

7. To speed up routine searching, we recommend you save the main search page to your "Links" by clicking our web address on your "Address" bar and dragging the icon to your "Links" Bar. You can then place the link on your "Desktop" by right clicking the icon and sending it to "Desktop".

General Comments

This a a new search system designed to be extremely fast, simple to use and fully comprehensive.  All businesses with web sites within the Near2U search system are individually vetted and monitored by Near2U Consultants.  Because this takes time and we only wish to include reputable companies, only limited postcode areas are available at this time.  This list is growing weekly and should soon encompass the whole of the UK.  As we expand near to you we will advertise and publicise "near2u.net" near to you!
