door-to-door
Directly between residences
Door-to-door describes activity that involves going from one house or building to the next in succession, typically for selling, canvassing, or delivering.
A door-to-door salesman visits homes uninvited hoping to make sales; political campaigns send volunteers door-to-door to reach voters.
The phrase also describes complete journey service: door-to-door delivery means items are transported from origin to final destination without the recipient needing to collect them elsewhere.
