But light (up to 100g) bulky things that would go as a packet here are cheaper by airmail to Europe.

True (if 1st Class) but the difference is only a few p, not eg 240g large letter 2nd Class 81p vs 240g Airmail £2.24. (Learn from my mistakes lol )

If it's under £41 your covered by proof of posting. There is no royal mail service that can guarantee tracking once the item has left the UK so if it's under £41 in my book it's not worth the extra money.

I'm afraid that is not a guaranteed service:

Although Airsure® is not a guaranteed service, Royal Mail works closely with its overseas partners to continuously improve quality of service and reliability of Track & Trace information

On that same Royal Mail page it goes on to say:

Please note that Airsure® is an upmarket mail, not a courier service. This means we cannot provide a guaranteed or certain delivery time, nor can we offer compensation for delays or missing Track & Trace information. If you do require an express or guaranteed service, then it’s best to visit Parcelforce (new window)

Well, the same buyer has now bought another of my bags - and offered to pay the extra postage but I told her not to worry about it, so she is lighting a candle for me!
