Comment: "Indead, a package. Maybe I am wrong and is it not an English word. Strange that we use it for our English customers. "

Not in the O.E.D.
I've just looked in the (2-volume) O.E.D. and it's not in there, either as colli or collo.
I have to say, it doesn't remind me of anything either, not in the sense of a "number of boxes"...
However, I'm always prepared to be proved wrong... :-)

Judging from vixen\'s Dutch link, I would imagine that package or parcel or a similar word may be what you\'re looking for.

colli, might not have singular form.
Webster's Dictionary has: collo-see coll
coll or collo (NL, fr. Gk.)
1.glue (collenchyma )
2.colloid (collotype )
It's originally from your native l. so it might not have singular f.
