This is how some acquaintences used to do it:
The material is packed and sealed with gloved
hands (the plastic gloves
from bulk-food places might do). The package is sent first class,
with
a false return address. There is no material inside to indicate source,
i.e. a
letter, newspaper, etc.
This is so that the package cannot be traced to its sender. The
false
name and return address are preferable to having no return address. The
standard
procedure for the USPS’s entrapment of consumers of drugs and
pornography is to hold the
package for pickup. I don’t know why picking
up a box makes a recipient liable when a
recipient is not liable for
any other kind of unsolicited mail, but there it is. The false
name is
used so that the recipient can call about a package and not pick it
up if it is
not a name he recognizes.
Pragmatically, if the package is left on a doorstep, the USPS
doesn’t
know what’s in it. If the package doesn’t leave the post office, the
USPS
_might_ know what’s in it.
As for how to wrap the stuff so that it can go undetected, I
have
know idea. Several layers of freezer-grade ziplog bags (they have
thicker plastic)
might work. I was never involved in these mailings.

SAN ANTONIO (UPI) —
Boston Celtics center Robert Parish apologized to
his team and fans Saturday, one day after he
received a summons charging
him with possession of five ounces of marijuana.
[...]
“We are comfortable that the marijuana was for personal use and not
for distribution, and the
search was not the result of an ongoing
investigation of Mr. Parish,” said Kurt Schwartz, a
spokesman for the
Middlesex District Attorney’s office.
“We received some information
concerning a package delivered to
Parish’s home and we were duty-bound to follow up on
it.”
Police in Weston received information about a package, addressed to
Parish, after
a routine check with a narcotics dog at a Federal Express
shipping facility in San
Francisco.
Schwartz said it is standard procedure to have the package shipped
and then
obtain a search warrant.
