Pros
A wide selection of products
Authentic international furniture and home goods
Good returns policy
Many offline stores
Affordable pricing
Cons
They do not ship to non-continental U.S. territories
They do not provide you with the shipping company information in their policies
Some of their orders may not have the tracking number
Yes, it’s still not the luxurious quality of custom-made products. However, they offer the best quality among the affordable options available in this niche. World Market is your best bet at getting a fair quality/price ratio.
Delivery – ★★★★ (4)
They do not provide their users with information on the shipping companies they use. Some of their orders may be shipped without tracking number. They do not ship to non-continental states of the U.S. All of these things affected the final score.
Value for money – ★★★★★ (5)
Since these products are brought from international markets, the prices are very affordable compared to U.S. local brands. The quality that you get for this money is very high, and most of these products will last long.
Website ease of use – ★★★★★ (5)
The website design is very responsive by all means. It loads fast, and you can easily shop from any device. The design is not overwhelming, cause it’s minimalist and clean.
Product information – ★★★★★ (5)
They provide you not only with the specifications and generic descriptions but also with the categorized feedback data. They show you the most useful review and the most liked negative review. This way, you will be able to make a fair judgment before you proceed with your purchase.
Product images – ★★★★★ (5)
Most of their products have so many photos! Since they upload the pictures of happy customers with their tables, you can browse dozens of photos. These images will help you understand how it will fit your interior, cause you’ll see the real look of those products in another customer’s interior.
Product options – ★★★★ (4)
Many of their products are only available in one style. This is one of the consequences of selling unique/authentic furniture pieces brought to you from other countries.
However, when it comes to rugs, pillows, and other home goods, you will be able to choose the color/pattern before you check out.
Support – ★★★★ (4)
They do not have a live chat. Their phone support works during regular business hours, and you can also send an email with your claim or questions. This is not bad and not good; the usual.
Offline Stores
More than 250 stores available nationwide. Exceptions are the non-continental territories of the U.S.
Mobile App
They do not have a mobile app since their website is very conveniently responsive to every device.
Warranty – ★★★★ (4)
Their products have a warranty, but they do not upload the warranty instructions on every product page. So you will have to contact them about it. It’s not really convenient, but very popular among big companies.
Returns & Refunds – ★★★★ (4)
You can get a refund within 60 days after the original purchase. The best part here is that you can return the product to any offline store location. So this means that you can bring a product for the return yourself and avoid wasting money on shipping.
If you return your online order to the order without the packing slip, you will only get the store credit at the lowest price for the past 90 days.
If you return your product after 60 days period, you will only receive a store credit

My first time and wow this pace has a lot of cute stuff. I was really suprised to find knock off jadeite. They had really cool varieties of food as well. However, I did not like that all throughout my time there, the employees were staring me down. They came up to me several times to ask if I wanted something, to see if I was finding everything alright, and to direct me to another part of the store for more of the item I was looking at. They constantly stare at you and circle around you. Thw cashier we had was very very rude. I really did enjoy what I saw there, but the employees made it hard to enjoy being there.
It's just the best place to get snacks from any part of the world, little knickknacks you didn't know you needed or just a bottle of wine - for not too...
I always find buried treasure here - which I like. The food section is great during the Christmas season. It’s getting pricier, just like everywhere else.
Played the Scavenger Hunt game. I didn't win, I left the store feeling defeated. I guess you just can't win in life. Sometimes, giving up will set you free.
I'm usually the customer who writes bad reviews. Not this time. I'm so impressed with the employers and the customer service. I've never had anything but...
Amazing store. I love it. Only downside is it’s so expensive. Also there’s a huuuuuge encampment right in front of it, creating some anxiety while visiting.
This place is just awesome. I hope it stays here forever! Coolest furniture options with foreign candy and drinks. Highly recommend for snacks and trendy furniture.

They have everything there, including foreign items and some things that I’ve never heard of before we did a massive cost plus run when my mom came out to visit me
Nice store. Easy parking. The employees are helpful and friendly. Great selection of gourmet food, wine, beer and coffee from all around the world. They have a rewards program with good coupons and incentives, but you must read the fine print carefully. I've been tricked many times.
You can always happen upon great finds here, like the strawberry Oreo which is amazing! Affordable patio set, baked beans in smaller cans and the list goes on!

Went shopping here the other day! They have alot of selections, stuff for the kitchen, bathroom and was hoping for more furniture stuff for the living room and bedroom but it was alittle short in that department fun place to come and see what is needed for your home and also some beverages and food stuff.

Word Market for me is one of the best as home decor store , an immense variety of products from all over the world, in addition to food and drinks, snacks, spices etc ... with quality and good price. And now, it's a great option for Christmas shopping.
Unique store, carrying stuff from all over the world. If you are looking for an out of the box gift ideas you must visit this place... I like their own brand of Italian coffee, one of the best.
Great, Easy curbside pickup Wonderful costumer service Looks like a beautiful store, haven't been inside but they have been great with there curbside!!!
So glad this place reopened! It is quite honestly one of my favorite spots to come for specialty gift items. Gourmet foods, cool greeting cards, nice...
This isn't our local cost plus but we made an online order because it showed that it was the nearest store with the chairs we where looking for. We got an email 2 days later that our order was ready for pick up. We called and confirmed before we made the drive. We got there, informed the cashier we where there for a pick up. She called a sales associate, we waited, she called again, we waited. 25 minutes later someone comes and we think he's coming our way to confirm our order.. but what he says instead is, "i can't find two of your chairs, there's a box there but it isn't the right color". Why they where missing after the company send us emails to confirm and the calls we made confirming so we didn't drive all the way out for no reason.. is not his fault. But instead of making us stand there for 40 minutes, he could have just told us what was going on.. we would have been upset but wouldn't have waisted our time.
Unique selection of interior accents from arround the world, mostly India. Unique delicacies from arround Western Europe: Germany, Switzerland, England, Belgium a.s.o.Lovely customer service.

Walked in here several weeks ago and had the absolute best customer experience. There was a more senior gentlemen with glasses who helped me set up my customer rewards/ benefits and it made buying half the store so much easier on the wallet. Thank you world market for hiring associates who care for the customers.
I'm an Indiaphile, so I've loved their merchandise since the 80's. Whenever I'm in the area I always have to pop in and see their latest finds. I love the thick American Indian blankets, their clever cooking gadgets, exotic pillows, rugs, lamps, towels, stoneware... Always a very friendly staff. This location has a free parking lot. It's a smaller store but still full of plenty to see and buy.
Almost the same as Pier1 but less sparkly and more bohemian and multi cultural. Also waaaay more affordable with even more variety. Friendly and cheerful staff too. They look adorable in their red aprons.
Anabel was super helpful. My mom purchased a table, chair, and quilts. Anabel checked to make sure all the items were in stock and helped us load the car....

This is a great place and I love shopping at Cost Plus, but I don't love that they closed my El Segundo store. 😕 This one in west LA is the closest option, yet far for me, so I probably won't be there near as much as I used to...bummer.
Fantastic white glove delivery service up 5 flights of steep stairs! Good communication throughout, affordable prices and lovely customer service. Would definitely recommend.
I have been purchasing rugs from angel rugs for the last 10 years! I have brought friends here, repurchased rugs after old ones got puppy ruined and left a few behind after breakups lol. Great low prices and really good quality. Excited to go back for a purchase tomorrow for my bigger house!!! Thank you from a loyal and happy customer!
Geraldine was so friendly and genuine while she was helping my mom and me checkout at the cash register. We were approached in the store and asked if we needed any help as well by a different employee. In all it was a nice shopping experience and fabulous customer service. Thank you World Market team!
Cost Plus World Market's World Explorer program is one of my favorite customer-rewards programs. Their promos are fun and exciting. I always enjoy shopping here, even when the free coffee or tea's empty. This particular store boasts an ample parking lot, clean restrooms, and super friendly associates. And the product selection is always fascinating. I'm a fan!
Great shop for everything from food to furniture. They also have a great wine selection too. Hanna on staff there is super helpful and nice. There is lots of easy parking in the back. They often have sales and coupons that stack for great savings. Also a great place to stop for gifts.

Hi, I’m a furniture consultant with the industry expertise. I worked with the most prominent furniture and home goods retailers in the US and had a chance to see this industry from the inside. My 8+ years of experience in furniture production management made it clear for me how crucial it is to know what stores and manufacturers you can or cannot trust.
