Link in this http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=53664" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But basically if you deliver via vehicle then no maximum as they can left in the load carrying area of a secure vehicle. If you are a walker (pouch/hct) then its 8 with 3 high value items.

I have to deliver to a post office on one of my loops, foreign currency with thousands of pounds in them, I'm always worried I am going to get robbed before I get rid of them :nervous

The post master told me one day, "ah £8000 in this one" :shock:
