hand carrying
Bearing by grip
Hand carrying means transporting something personally rather than shipping or delegating it.
The term emphasizes direct physical custody: The documents were too sensitive to mail, so we're hand carrying them.
In bureaucratic and military contexts, hand carrying often implies urgency or security concerns that rule out normal channels.
