hand carry
Bear it yourself
To hand carry something is to transport it personally rather than shipping or entrusting it to others: I'll hand carry the documents to make sure they arrive safely.
The term emphasizes direct physical custody throughout transit, often for valuable, urgent, or sensitive items.
As a noun, a hand carry is luggage taken aboard rather than checked: This bag is my hand carry.
