Postcode Distance System

Hi

I want to add functionality to my site so that customers can type in a
postcode and we can tell them the "nearest store" in our database.
I have noticed there are loads of sites on the net that offer this
service but some of the them are small back bedroom sites. Do they
really pay for the expensive postcode data or is there an alternative
method you can use with some additional coding??
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
