Man Ships Himself to Girlfriend, Gets Lost In Mail - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

Ahh yes, romantic gestures. Roses, chocolates and walks on the beach were apparently too cliché for one man from China. But the novel approach he tried, got him into a sticky situation.

He decided to hop into a cardboard box and mail himself to his girlfriend as a romantic prank. However, delivery employees blundered on the address and instead of spending the intended 30 minutes trapped inside, he spent three hours in the box.

When his surprised spouse finally opened the package, she discovered her boyfriend unconscious, needing paramedics to revive him.

The box didn't have much ventilation and according to reports, it was too thick to poke a hole through.

The courier company did not seem to find the loving gesture too funny, stating, “If he'd told us what he was doing at the start we would not have taken the parcel.”

What do you think about this prank? How far would you go to impress your partner?
