I only have experience with the Air Mail service, but I did notice that the value of goods sent to the US without paying duty has been increased to 600 pounds earlier this year.

The 2Kg limit is for royal mail airmail, which I am fairly sure the package will exceec. It will either be parcelforce (the semi-affiliated Royal mail courier) or another courier. At this point the weight alone necessitates that.
