As in van packets too big for the bags? Anything from none to 12/15 under normal circumstances, once Christmas comes though its another story and cut off city ensues.

As many as we've got time for. Why should there be a minimum or maximum?

Do as much work as you reasonably can in the time you are paid to do it. If the packets are too big for your trolley then drop them off in the van. If you don't have time to drop them off separately then ask your line manager whether you should leave the packets in the office or cut off a section of your delivery.
