I have a very good friend that lives far away from me and I'd very much like to send Mishloach Manot to him.

Is there any rule/halacha/minhag that states that the emissary/third-party (shaliach) of my gift must be jewish? It is my only option in order to have the matana delivered to my friend.

My plan is to buy everything, pack/assemble properly myself and have a professional courier (non-jewish) handle the delivery (pick directly from my hands and deliver to my friend's hands). There's no wine so being not mevushal is not a concern.

Would using a non-jewish emissary be acceptable and help me fulfill the mitzvah or is there something wrong about it?

I'm sorry if this is a repeat but I searched 5-6 similar questions before asking and none addressed my concern in particular.

Can a shaliach assemble your mishloach manot for you?

Can a shaliach buy food to give as mishloach manot?

Thank you
