When you think two people are a match made in heaven for each other, you ship them. Usually used in fandoms.
person 1: Omg, are you shipping Kambrose or Lambrose?
person 2: Kambrose? No! Never! When did that even exist?
person 1: Someone thought it would be funny to say Karim and Mr Ambrose... like this book is set in the victorian times. Gay love wasn't welcome at all.
person 2: Who cares, I ship Lilly Linton and Rikkard Ambrose so hard I could die.
person 1: Agreed, Lambrose for the win!!!!!!!!!

Fandom uses this word as a verb to denote their interest in the possible (and perhaps more often impossible) romantic relationship between two characters in a piece of fiction belonging to any medium. It's really never used in a platonic way, but if it ever is, people tend to separately emphasize that they are using it platonically.

Usually written: Character/Character or CharacterxCharacter. Fanfiction without any shipping, or with little emphasis on ship is usually labeled genfic, which there is a depressing lack of.
Person 1: It is a little weird how much I am retroactively shipping ChrisxLexi
Person 2: Yeah. That's kinda Odd. And Chris's like a Big Star. He's got a Sexy Girlfriend..
Person 1: But did you notice how weirdly Sexually Cra-Cra they are for each other???

Person 2: No. Eww. Stop talking.

Send it! Give it up!

What makes the phrase sometimes funny/abrasive is the implied 100% ownership of "it" (i.e., come to papa).

Often implies a diminutive order (Send it, sucka!) to immediately send/give whatever "it" is to the speaker (Dat's ALL mine; hand it over!) and it is usually said in a self-congratulatory tone (I am awesome, it is awesome, thus it is mine; ship it).

Poker usage: "Ship it" conveys a confident and impatient 100% ownership of the money in the pot. Saying "ship it" with a mediocre-but-still-winning poker hand usually gets a laugh, especially if you say "Ship it" after showing your weak hand but before you see the other person's weaker hand. It also usually gets a laugh if you say "Ship it" when the pot is tiny and uncontested... ship it, ship it all.
My pocket aces beats your pair. Ship it, fish!

You look nice in them jeans. Ship it.

You've got the answer-key???? Ship it.

Everyone folds to me in the big blind??? Ship it.

Said at Foxwoods, before taking down a $1400 pot against an expected low (busted) flush draw: "Queen high. Ship it!"

Weirdly, everyone seems to see this as an abbreviation of "relationship", and use it to profess a desire for two people to couple or "pair up". Whoever started popular use of this his having a giggle on all of you, as the proper derivation of it is simply

They're hot together. I ship Brian to Christine.

The word comes from 'relationship', and means supporting an existing romantic relationship between two characters, or the idea of two characters who are not currently together being a couple. The couple are called a 'ship', and the person doing the shipping is a 'shipper'. The term can also be used in reference to real-life people. A person's favourite 'ship' is their 'OTP' - One True Pairing.
e.g. "I ship Hiccstrid SO HARD! They're my OTP!"
e.g. "Oh my god, the ship has sailed!"
e.g. "I'm gonna start shipping them, they're so adorable together!"
