EDIT: Hahaha I only looked at the first picture! Didnt get the hole story. Well thats a stoner for ya!

A little advice. The peanut butter was used for covering the smell I am assuming. That will not work against a dog. Only against sight if they open your package. Dont get false confidence thinking this is a fail proof method. When mailing, your biggest problem and risk is dogs. However, with millions of packages being sent through the system the odds are in your favor of not getting caught. It would be impossible to screen every package. But a small percentage of them do. I would guess its less than 1% of them. That doesnt mean you wont get caught though. Its a very minute chance but the consequences are quite severe. International shipping is a hole different story. Most of law enforcements efforts go after the big fish...people sending pounds and importing into the country.

I used to know a guy who would send through the mail. What he would do is a double vacuum seal, sometimes triple if it was a hefty amount. He would then hide it in a discreet item. One time he even used a broken VCR. He even included a birthday card! But even this method is not 100% safe. Nothing is...well nothing economically feasible however. He would also only overnight packages. You dont want your package sitting around. Smell will seep through even a vacuum sealed bag given enough time. Also do not handle the pot without using gloves. A dog can smell microscopic particles from you touching the bud then touching part of the package. Use gloves while handling the pot and then throw away. Put on another pair. Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands in between changing gloves. I know this is an inconvenient and time consuming process but If I ever shipped I would do exactly this. I could only imagine how shitty it would be sitting in a jail cell thinking "only if..."

Anyways its late and if you dont want to read it all here are the main points:
Vacuum seal 2-3 times.
Overnight ship
Use gloves when handling
Nothing is 100% fail proof

Overall my advice would be dont ship...IMO the chances of getting caught are small buts theres always that chance. Its not worth the risk. I am a very precaution oriented person and would never ship...nor receive...you can get in trouble for that to. Good luck!
