Can you mail yourself to another country? Any country?
This idea comes from this BBC article. They point out that all crates are screened these days, but I'm wondering if perhaps an airline wouldn't mind if you did it. Presumably it wouldn't be an international one....but if there's anywhere that DOES allow this, either to travel in the cargo hold, or to be 'mailed', I'd accept the answer.

Mailing a person from one country to another country will in most cases violate immigration laws, possibly both in the origin as well as in the destination country.
With the exception of areas and regions without immigration control between countries (e.g. the Common Travel Area or the Schengen Area), it is usually only allowed to leave and enter a country at designated ports of entry, e.g. land border crossings, ferry terminals or airports. Even if international shipments and mail is usually handled at cargo terminals with customs offices, these terminals are not to considered ports of entry for persons and usually not equipped for immigration control on persons.

What happens if I mail myself?
It's a dangerous thing to do; secreting oneself in the bowels and containers of a ship carries with it the risk of suffocation, starvation, and thirst. A stowaway's legal position is rarely secure, and if the stowaway is discovered, he or she is unlikely to find much sympathy from a ship's crew.What Happened When People Tried To Mail Humans

It is not possible today to stowaway in a crate internationally! I know this because in 1965 I actually did it! I traveled from Melbourne Australia to LA USA - although I was bound for London. I spent about 4.5 days in that crate and wouldn't recommend it! Just after my experience all international bound crates were sprayed with sneezing powder to try and detect people inside, today they are all put through X-ray machines.
If you want to read more Google for aircraft crate stowaway attempts; there's a link to a BBC report there.
