@handmadeandvintageuk: Star Seller rules are that physical listings need to have tracking to count for Star Seller (with a few exceptions in some areas). If you have not yet done so, you might want to read https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000338067-How-to-Offer-Local-Pickup-or-Delivery?segment=s...
Will local pickup orders be part of my evaluation for a Star Seller badge?
All physical listing orders must include a valid tracking number or a shipping label purchased on Etsy to be considered for a Star Seller badge. At this time, we’re unable to make exceptions for local pickup orders.
This also applies to delivery orders.

Re: Delivery by Hand
Tracking is the only way to prove of shipment. Since you are not in the US, a receipt may work. However hand deliver has neither. Even if the buyer signs a receipt it is not proof. The buyer could raise a case and win because there is no seller protection.
