Actually, it doesn't seem to be serving any function at all. It is not being used correctly. It should not be in the sentence. Self can be an adjective or a noun but it's not serving as either one here. Remove "self" and the sentence is fine.

  • So, this sentence is not grammatical at all?

  • @Kumarsadhu It's perfectly grammatical if you remove the word "self."

  • But how to emphasize the fact that I have delivered the parcel to the same person who had ordered

    ... to John himself.

    @Kumarsadhu Yes, that's correct. In that case, "himself" is an emphatic pronoun.
