hand deliver

Carry there yourself

To hand deliver something is to bring it personally rather than sending it through mail or a courier service.

The phrase emphasizes direct, physical transfer from one person to another: I'll hand deliver the documents to make sure they arrive on time.

Hand-delivered items often carry more weight or urgency than those sent by ordinary means.
