In the UK: Occasionally someone gets fined and makes it to the local newspaper and all his friends laugh at how unlucky he was.

I suspect the cost for local enforcement or for the post office of preventing weed being sent via mail is just too high to be considered.

The UK's domestic postal service - Royal Mail - is far too broken to even consider screening illegal packages. They make money from posting this stuff and they're too underfunded and stagnant to address it even they wanted to.
