Man Nearly Died by Shipping Himself to Girlfriend (As a Romantic Gesture)
AsiaOne ^ | Tuesday, Sep 04, 2012

Posted on 09/05/2012 3:37:31 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.

Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.

However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.

The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.

The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.

When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.

However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.

Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.

He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."

The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.

The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.

“I expect some to arrived dented and spindled”

Better than dindled and spented.

I’m here. Some funny things happen in Asia, but I have more sympathy for this guy than the knife-swallower lady.

“Better than dindled and spented.”

Sounds painful in the extreme.
Then there’s “parindl’d”

In my given instance, he arrived scented and depindled.

The ol’back has been out of whack for the past couple of days. Found a new therapy, Tiger Balm and a heating pad.

Double Whammy on it is working!

“Dead man shipping?”

Please allow sixty eight weeks for delivery.
