consigning
Sending for delivery
Consigning is the act of handing something over to another's care, custody, or disposal.
You consign goods to a shipping company, packages to the mail, or items to an auction house.
The word often implies finality or formal transfer: consigning old furniture to the attic, consigning memories to the past.
To consign something to oblivion is to let it be forgotten.
