Special delivery: Motorcycle, somehow, transports dozens of boxes

Special delivery: Motorcycle, somehow, transports dozens of boxes

We’re not quite sure how they managed to stack them, but this video from downtown Shanghai shows what appears to be a motorized tricycle piled high with dozens of parcels.

Surrounded by a cave of boxes and completely hidden from view, the driver somehow still manages to navigate the city streets.
