ships
Sends by carrier
Ships are large watercraft designed to carry passengers, cargo, or military forces across bodies of water—distinct from smaller boats by their size and ocean-going capability.
To ship goods is to transport them, originally by sea but now by any method: We ship worldwide.
In informal usage, to ship two people is to enthusiastically support a romantic pairing between them, real or fictional: I've shipped them since season one.
A relationship may describe a close bond: their friendship.
