cash-and-carry

No credit allowed

Cash-and-carry describes a retail arrangement where customers pay immediately and transport goods themselves, rather than receiving credit or delivery.

The term often modifies stores or warehouses operating this way: a cash-and-carry wholesaler.

During wartime, cash-and-carry policies required nations to pay upfront and ship purchases in their own vessels.
