I have had stuff shipped USPS from US with no problem. I like the way
that I can track the shipment on the USPS website then see it transfer
to Parcelforce in the UK for the internal travel

I concur. But "letter" is certainly misleading. A helpful USPS
counter person put me wise. :D
I've shipped a number of items around the world via USPS and other
than a clerk in Holland copying the recipient address incorrectly (it
was eventually noted and delivered corrected), packages arrive
relatively quickly and in good shape. One left Michigan on Thursday
and was in the buyer's hands in Sweden the following Monday w/o duty
or tax. He was very happy.
Customs agents, OTOH are completely unpredictable. In the UK they
seem to be processing every single package rather than a percentage of
them.
That said, for shipments in the U.S. I prefer FedEx Ground as the best
value for money.
