5-7 days airmail is predicted by Royal Mail but can be much quicker to East Coast. I've even posted a parcel mid day Saturday and it's arrived in California Tuesday morning. When tracking insured parcels, they've always left UK same day. I think the hold up is in customs in USA.

I've sent letters and packages to Scotland. It took the least about 3 days, most close to two weeks. I believe it's the time you send the packages. I try to send before 12 because most post offices have their mail picked up at that time by the trucks. I am not sure when the plane leaves for international mail but I think if you send it out by the post office early, you should be fine.
Also make sure you write the address correctly.
name
address
city
zipcode
country

If it is an aerogramme - you know the all-in-one thingy - then about 4 days in total door to door. Other wise it can be a bit of a lottery over 5-6 days in some cases. It can depend on the originating are and the actual destination.

I have sent packets to the US for the last 2 years or so and those have never took more than a week.
