hand delivering

Bringing in person

Hand delivering is bringing something to its recipient in person rather than sending it through mail, courier, or other intermediaries.

The term emphasizes directness and personal involvement: She insisted on hand delivering the invitation to make sure it arrived.

Often used when the item is important, time-sensitive, or requires a personal touch.
