hand-deliver
Bring in person
To hand-deliver something is to bring it personally rather than sending it through mail or courier services.
The term emphasizes direct, personal transfer: I'll hand-deliver the documents to her office tomorrow.
Hand-delivery often signals importance, urgency, or the desire to ensure something arrives safely.
