Cost Plus World Market

I love World Market. I just wish it wasn’t all the way in Buckhead. I typically try to avoid Buckhead on the weekends due to travel. World Market is located in the same center is a Kroger so bonus that I can do some grocery shopping once I have made my stop. I shop here mostly for accessories. I love their selection of jewelry and headbands. They also have great bags, but usually not the ones that I want from what I saw online. The art selection is also great, but I have too much art in my home as it is. There is a nice selection of international foods and beverages. The staff are nice. No hassles ever using coupons; World Market sends out alot of them. I simply wish they had more in the store!

Cost Plus World Market, or I actually like to call World Market is a rather huge store that sells a wide variety of merchandise from kitchen tools to paintings to furniture to grocery especially imported snacks.
I have been frequenting this store for the past many years mainly to buy those hard to find snacks which I grew up with and love very much. Prices can be on the high side for these candies. Once I grabbed a bar of Violet Crumble and only realized that small chocolate bar cost me $ 3.99 when I got home. However, I truly enjoyed eating that bar of chocolate. I try not to think about how much some of those candies cost in England when I buy my candies there.
Staffs are always friendly and helpful.

What a wonderful location. The employees here are always eager to help you with whatever you need. That kind of professionalism is hard to find these days. The store is also very clean and well taken care of. I always suggest this location to anyone! Keep up the good work!
We were in the market for a specific set of furniture the last time we visited. One of the employees spent nearly an hour with us helping us to track down the set at whatever store may have it. He even went as far as to help us reach out to the other stores to confirm their inventory. I wish we had gotten his name (but this was a long day at shopping for us).

This place is great. Normally, I would think of this store as a «girly» store but after going in here with a female friend of mine I found out that they actually have lots of cool sh*t. Sometimes you just need the proper guide I guess. Had I gone in here alone I may have had a completely different perspective.

Nice products TERRIBLE customer service. Of the 3 people that I encountered only one smiled and the second he opened his mouth to help me, who I assume was the manager but I’m not sure, jumped right in as though she was waiting for me all day and began to treat me as though I was trying to rob the store! Clearly frustrated with me, cutting me off, looking off to the side instead of directly at me, and just plain acting as though she was doing me a favor letting me shop there. This is my second run in with her and the first time she did something very similar. Did i write a review about it? No. I generally don’t care enough to waste my time on those type of people. I forgot her as soon as I walked out. This time though I left with anger in my throat. The type of anger you think about later in the shower. I hope she has that snickers bar that she so desperately seems to need and treats you better!

I do like World Market. Their products and customer service in the store are both pretty good. I’ve had a difficult online experience, though. Bought a couch. Their website told me the order didn’t go through so I processed again only to find out that I had purchased two couches. After a week, customer service finally found the orders and cancelled one for me. Now two weeks after my order, the couch is in town but for some reason, the delivery service can’t drive it across town to me for another four days. I just feel like their online service leaves a lot to be desired. There is a lot to choose from and I’m not sure id choose World Market again for online purchases.

World Market has a wide variety of stylish, well priced merchandise, and many specialty products. However, the store on Piedmont is grossly under staffed. It took me 30 minutes to check out recently, because two items from the stock room took 10 minutes to be brought to the cash register. Then, the sales clerk rang up the wrong price on 24 individual items. When we called ahead to alert them we would be there in 15 minutes to pick-​up some larger boxed items, we had to wait 20 minutes after we got there for them to be brought to the front of the store. Good merchandise, but horrible customer service at this location.

I was really disappointed by the complete lack of customer service skills displayed by the cashiers both times I visited this store. Today, I had a very rude cashier who made sarcastic remarks and even gave me the hand, which I didn’t realize was still done.
After having to return to the store after the previous cashier overcharged me, I came in with a smile on my face, hoping to get a refund and do a little more shopping. I told the cashier my name and what had happened previously. I told him I had spoken to a manager on the phone a few days earlier who told me to come into the store for my refund. Though inconvenient, I didn’t mind. The cashier asked who I had spoken to, and I said I could not remember the manager’s name, but it was a man, and he said he would leave a note about my refund. The cashier then said, rather sarcastically, that that only narrowed it down by 50%. Calmly, I tried to tell him I didn’t realize there were so many managers, but he gave me the hand and got on the phone to the manager’s office. It didn’t get any better from there, and he continued to be rude.
I really wanted to like this store and bring my business here, but after being treated badly on two occasions, I think I would be asking for a headache.

Love this store. I especially love their new laundry line where you can buy a bunch of new accessories to go into your laundry room to look like it came from Pinterest. I just bought the pack of 3 wool balls from there to use in place of toxic dryer sheets.
I also love shopping their knobs collection. I switch out my boring kitchen cabinet knobs to these cute ones for about $ 3-​$ 5 each. I recommend waiting until they have coupons ($ 10 off $ 30 or 15% off entire purchase)
You can also get a great selection of beers and wine from here as well.

World Market is like Pier 1 on steroids and a lot less tacky. This place is huge! They have wall décor, furniture, kitchenware, and wine. They also have a commendable Christmas department, which unfortunately was pretty much marked down and cleared out when I went there on December 26^th hoping to find some 50% off ornaments for my collection.
What I am actually most impressed by at World Market is their assemble yourself furniture. It is like twice the price and ten times the quality of the screw it together and hope for the best junk that IKEA and Target sell. I have a book case and a two person kitchen table (that conveniently holds and displays five bottles of wine and six wine glasses). I bought and assembled them three years ago and they’re still in great shape. It’s heavy, substantial wood that blends in seamlessly with my far more expensive Pottery Barn furniture.
A lot of the times I don’t buy anything when I go here, but World Market is one of those stores that is honestly just fun to browse. They have a lot of good sales, so if you can handle being bombarded by emails, it’s well worth getting on their email list.

Staff is über attentive and friendly! Only downside is they don’t have the best selection of stuff I tend to look for unlike the Buckhead location which is always stocked and good to go.

I like Cost Plus World Market — if you need somewhere that sells all kinds of knick knacks, doo dads, goo gaws, international food stuffs, booze and kitchen stuff — this is your kind of place. It also has a small selection of cheap jewelery, gift bags and wrapping paper, lamps, dishes and cutlery, rugs, throw pillows, and other home furnishings (I got a great eggplant papasan chair from there years ago).
Anyway, I went for a stroll through this Cost Plus the other weekend before hitting the grocery store next door, and I am continually pleased with what I see. An odd assortment of goods for sale, which people seem to like and want to buy.
Prices are reasonable, the stuff is just off-​beat enough that regular stores don’t carry it, but not so far out of left field that you’re left wondering who eats something or what something else is used for, and it’s fun to peruse and see what new oddities have been brought in since the last visit.
If you need a hostess gift, a housewarming present, an out of the ordinary snack food or wine, or any type of household stuff, I’d recommend checking out Cost Plus — even if you emerge empty-​handed, you’ll probably be back in the future just to see what’s shaking.

Love this place for inexpensive pick me ups for home décor. I love the selection of rugs, framed art and canvases. I have to also say that the pulls/​handles are just as cute as anthroropolgies for a fraction of the price. They start as low as 1.99.

They had the item I was looking for, but their policies are crazy. The staff is nice enough, but:
You can’t pay for things over the phone. If you buy it have to pick it up or use their not-​so-​nice delivery service (the item didn’t fit in our car, and they won’t let us keep it in the store even a couple days to come and get a bigger truck). It was supposed to be $ 65 for the delivery they told us (we’re less than 35 miles away). The delivery people made us pay over $ 120, and since we already bought the furniture getting mad at them was all we could really do.
Ordering over the internet was very painful too. Their discount wouldn’t work (it would just dissapear in the last step in the ordering process).

So yesterday, I was charged with procuring boxes to help a friend with packing-​and-​moving needs. Saturday is a tough day to get them from stores or restaurants, since they usually break them down quickly and put in the dumpster, and deliveries are usually on days like Tues and Fri. Hence, the nice lady at CPWM couldn’t give me any — BUT the nice lady in the floral dept at Disco Kroger was able to hook me up; she just had to unpack them first, so I had time to shop at World Market! Double score!
I have always enjoyed the random gift-​y and food-​y things you can find here. And, recently (to me), they’ve remodeled and re-​laid-​out the store in a less cluttered and more user friendly fashion. I went in thinking I’d just get a bag of the Haribo gummy bears I love (which I did) and also found some choice items for J’s upcoming birthday. .. a theme started forming in my head and part one of his gift is done thanks to CPWM. A very nice lady helped me get the box done from a high shelf since the display ones were all I could reach. NPWH, definitely.
Must return more often! Oh — and I joined their «club» and it brings perks of an extra discount on special items and sale items — I think this is one of those «bonus» clubs I will actually use!

I do like this store and the staff is so friendly and available for questions. They carry mostly imported goods, the foods can be found in the back and are pretty easy to find since everything is pretty well organized here.
The only complaint I have is that the aisles are sometimes blocked with merchandise or are too narrow for both you and the buggy to go through.
If you sign up for their free customer loyalty program, you get coupons for extra savings during your birthday month!

I freaking love this place. I could spend hours here without knowing it because they have everything, international and domestic. If I wanted some Australian Tim Tam Cookies, they got it! If I wanted some German Merci Chocolates, they got it! I love that they have a bit of everything here and it’s nice to try new things from other countries.
They sell everything from furniture to wine, soap, baskets, tea, coffee… goodness. I love the variety. The only bad thing is that I spend way too much money here…

It’s so easy to get lost in this store… in the best way possible. I start out in the art section at the front of the store, enchanted by the inspirational prints, and before I know it I am in the wine section at the back of the store with a cart full of art, soaps, candles, jewelry, pillows, dishes, and teas. It adds up, but the prices for the items are quite inexpensive.
During their big outdoor furniture sale last year, I was able to get a mosaic table, bench, and two directors chairs for under $ 200. I was absolutely thrilled with my purchases, and they have held up really well.
Their wine prices are dangerously low. Next to Trader Joe’s, this is my favorite place to pick up and try different wines. They have a rather large selection of wines from around the world, so it’s easy to get lost in the choices.
The store’s employees are equally enthusiastic about their inventory, eagerly offering tips and suggestions about the products throughout the store.
I would have to say that this is one of the better home stores to visit when you’re looking for fun and distinctive décor and furnishings. The snacks and miscellaneous items that you pick up along the way are just a bonus.

Spending my high school days working at Linens N Things (in the Houseware dept., mind you) gave me a love for retail stores that sell a ton of random crap that may or not fit together at the end of the day.
After LNT decided to shut all of its doors, I needed a new place to fill that void. And then Cost Plus came along… Unfortunately when the recession hit, the closest Cost Plus near me shut down. Long story short– this location is the closest to my house now.
Located in the back right corner of a decent sized strip mall in the heart of Buckhead, this place to me is a hidden gem.
Why do I like it so much? This place is a think tank for the creative. It gives me ideas and inspiration every time I come here. The food, the furniture, the booze, the candles. Hell, even the gift baskets do! Speaking of gift baskets, they have an entire section dedicating it to custom baskets. I need to send the Easter Bunny here next year…
I like also how they have a free rewards program and usually email reward offers a few times a week. Even if the stuff is expensive, they still pull the illusion you are saving money.
One downside to it though is the actual layout of stuff. It can get cramped in the aisles quickly– I sometimes have to walk the aisles at an angle because my broad shoulders have indeed wiped entire product off the shelves (oops) — so be mindful of that to all of you larger homosapiens.
I have also noticed though, MOST of the furniture here is pretty well built, and are solid pieces– I wouldn’t mind furnishing my future home with a few pieces from here!
This is a great place to come by on a rainy day to do some shopping or just browsing. Getting to see all of the international food and drink is always a fun thing as well. If you are anything like me, you will turn your 3 item list into a 20 item shopping cart here.

When most people picture their happy place they picture rolling hills and blue skies… I picture Cost Plus World Market.
— Great jewelry and scarf display. A wonderful reprieve from the Target accessory section. The accessories are very reasonably priced at about $ 10 and up.
— Best supply of imported sweets and beers I have seen! If you need ideas for housewarming gifts or stocking stuffers, this is your section. Try the banana bread beer. You won’t be sorry.
— Lots of beautiful dinnerware sets and kitchenware items. From mechanical pepper grinders to hickory wood chips, they have it all.
The home décor items are a little on the pricey side and can be found elsewhere for cheaper. Staff lives up to the typical Buckhead snobbery. Don’t let that deter you from the experience that is Cost Plus World Market.
