Quick Summary

A cash-and-carry wholesaler is a type of limited-service wholesaler. These businesses typically offer a restricted selection of fast-moving merchandise. They sell to smaller retailers on a cash-only basis and do not provide delivery services. This model emerged to reduce service costs. The term "cash-and-carry" itself refers to the policy of selling goods on a cash basis without delivery. Wholesaling, in general, involves selling merchandise to businesses for resale or business use, rather than to individual consumers, often in bulk quantities at lower-than-retail prices.123
