Zusammenfassung:	Postage pricing data may be determined and reported in a uniform manner from data files. The data files may be provided to a vendor and include postage pricing data, mailing attribute data and other data for locating the appropriate postage. To obtain postage pricing, a number of attributes associated with a user's mailing are identified. A first data file may be searched using the attribute data. A key is accessed from the first data file based on the attributes and then a second data file is searched using the key and a pricing structure. The postage price for the mailing may then be retrieved from the search of the second data file. The postage pricing data may cover domestic mail, international mail, mailing services and discount information, and may be reported to a user via a display or electronic communication
