hand-carrying
Bearing by grip
Hand-carrying means transporting something personally rather than shipping or delegating: I'm hand-carrying the documents to the courthouse.
The term emphasizes direct physical custody, often for items too important or sensitive to entrust to others: The diplomat was hand-carrying classified materials.
It implies care, urgency, or the need for a secure chain of possession.
