99 Cent Depot

Service with an attitude! I have no idea why the employees cannot be a little more friendly here. Cheer up! They have a lot of cool stuff and it’s at very fair prices. One of the things I get here are button batteries like the kind you use in remote controls. I think it is about $ 1.99 for 6 to a card and that’s darn cheap. They have all kinds of things if you just walk thru the aisles and look around. I will be back when I want to buy a few things I need as well as a few I do not need (:

Do not Want to give no stars whatsoever. They are the rudest employees! First off one lady at out of the blue decided to be rude to me because I was buying merchadise. Yes, I mean I use to like going here especially since everything was cheap but then again their nice employees left and replace them with the rudest. PLEASE ! stay away and go to a dollar tree or a 99 cent store. They are not even 99 cent store anymore everything is either over 5 dollars or higher.

Hidden goodies!
Its packed with all kinds of random stuff at rock bottom prices. Not to be confused with 99 cent stores, this place is mostly above $.99. Be that as it may, the quality level of stuff here is way above similar depots out there.
We bought a good pile of stocking stuffers and other giftmas Schwab for under $ 50… Enough for full stockings to 5 we ones.
The trouble with this place is the service. Pretty terrible, and you gotta keep a sharp eye on the folks ringing you up. Maybe it is accidental, but there’s some swift-​fingers at work.

These are the rudest people ever — STAY AWAYYY! Paid $ 1/​balloon to have 10 balloons inflated with helium yesterday — by nighttime, they were on the ground. I called today twice — the first guy barely spoke any English and I couldn’t understand a word he said. The second time I called, a woman answered and barked at me in broken English that their balloons only work for one day and she wouldn’t give me more for less money — then hung up on me. Please, go to Dollar Tree or some other place. Contemplated calling back to scream at her — that’s what I really felt like doing.
Also, pretty much nothing here is $.99, for what it’s worth.

Not happy with product quality. Also there is no refunds at anytime, for any reason

The prices are excellent… the service is abhorrent! My two children were accused of stealing. My eldest was accused while he was searching his pocket for his $ 20.00 to purchase his items. I was followed while being looked at suspiciously. Ugh! Annoying!

This is a really good, kind of «hidden» place in Culver City. You can find just about anything here if you look hard enough. I usually come here about once a week for Niagara water in the gallon container (cheapest price in the area). I came in recently and found they had a small selection of natural hair care products.
If you are looking for something kind of on the «obscure» side, you will probably find it here, and for a pretty good price.

My opinion might be biased because I have a thing for dollar stores. I go to the typical dollar tree just to see what cool cheap trinkets I can pick up for the kids around me. Who am I kidding? Sometimes I pick up a cool toy for me too. All that aside, the chain stores, Dollar Tree and 99 cent stores all tend to have the same things and aren’t really anything special. Then one day, a friend introduces me to the 99 cent depot. Wow. Stuff. All kinds of stuff. Cool stuff, weird stuff, nostalgic stuff, stuff I need, stuff I don’t need, and stuff I decided I needed right then and there. This place is great for craft supplies, among other things. It’s too difficult to even begin to describe the wide variety of items you can find here.
I’ve been here 3 times and I’ve spent no less than an hour roaming the aisles each time. There’s so many things. Seasonal things, too. It’s like an adventure every time I go. It’s a little hidden in the plaza, behind Pier One. Go waste an hour or two. I work hard at not being a hoarder, but this store makes it difficult. One star knocked off just because it can be messy and hard to find stuff sometimes.
Note that it is the 99 cent depot, but not everything is 99 cents. The pricing varies, but it’s still cheap. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for and the quality isn’t always great.

I’ve been to 99 Cent Depot a few times, but last Thursday, I was in a pinch. Desperately needing colorful birthday party supplies (balloons, hats, poppers, streamers, etc.) for a work project, I stopped by Target… pretty picked over. I put on my thinking cap and thought — ahhh, what about that little shop next door to Pier 1? Literally, everything I needed and more at insanely low prices. 5 stars! I’m so grateful to have this place right down the street from me.

Yes this is the ⁹⁹⁄₉₈ cents depot. So, don’t come in thinking your going to get high quality things for cheap.
Jaja…not going to happen.
But, what I will say is that you will gey your money worth.
You will find great treasures for cheap.

Ahem hem. Mi mi mi …
They’ve got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
They’ve got whosits and whatsits galore
You want thingamabobs?
They’ve got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more !!!
A bowl? A candle or two? Why, yes, please !
Containers, hair ties, all that and a bag of chips. Love this place.
Even if I don’t *really* neeeed anything, I’m popping in ;)

This shop is really a 99 cents and up sort of place. Tons of products and variety but it’s like BIG BOX had a relationship with the flea market.
Since more of the items from what I saw were more than 99 cents, it sort of took the air out of my tire.
The service is meh and cleanliness is not their strong point. No food or drinks sold here. Although, they do sell plenty of undergarments, socks, and interesting shirts here. It’s really all over the place. Entertaining for sure.

Almost everything item here is $ 1.29 /​$ 1.59+ the owners or workers here don’t make u feel welcome it’s cluttered and I feel as they’re always following me around the store as I shop. They’re always speaking in their language as they stare at u too.

Located in a small strip mall in the Culver City area, the 99 Cent Depot is a place where you can find just about anything… and I don’t mean this in a good way. They have panda hats, silk flowers, coloring books, ethic snack, socks, and just about anything that other stores couldn’t sell. It’s a collection of a wide arrangement of items, not logically sorted or categorized in any meaningful fashion.
I came in here looking for a fireplace lighter and quickly left. I kind of found what I needed (it was a large looking match that was a big lighter), asked the lady behind the counter how much it was, and she barked, «look at the price on it». Sorry, I missed the price tag as it was the same color as the lighter.
Prices are not 99 cents. Prices are not cheap here. I keep questioning why this place exists.

I love the 99 Cent Depot. Not everything is 99 cents here, but the store itself is awesome. Isles upon isles of neat things. It’s especially good for kids craft items. I can get all sorts of things for my daughter’s school projects, her sewing hobby, etc. They also sell nice cosmetics and even underwear!
The kitchen supply isle is neat. They have everything from utensils and dishes to Tupperware and baking supplies. Definitely a cost effective way to shop for all the household needs you may have!

Pretty good place for finding little odds and ends. I found the craft section to be noteworthy. Tons of useful things for kid’s school projects.
Don’t let the name fool you… everything is NOT 99 cents. However, merchandise is discounted.

So this place isn’t a TRUE 99 cent store since a lot of the items are more, thank you economy and owners. However, not worrying about the extra 29 cents or whatever it may be, this place has tons and tons of random items. I mean you can find practically anything here. Well, actually, it may be difficult to find since things feel a little scattered but what do you expect from a giant store full of crappy items!!!
Note to shoppers: Remember you are shopping at a 99 cent store. There are items you should and should not get at these types of stores! So don’t buy everything and then whine and you know what when you get home to find out that items are not what you expected them to be. In most cases you get what you pay for but for the other 5% of the time, you get lucky! I hope you’re one of the 5%!

So I had a verbal quarrel with one of the workers here about the name of the store. Now I believe the name is misleading. You see 99cent depot then your like «hey things here must be 99cent!!»
UH NO!!!
The worker told me that 88% of the items are around 99cent (which I feel she grossly exaggerated). The beauty of a 99cent store is that you can go in and no worry about checking the price cause you know every product is of equal value. This place prices items all wily-​nilly. I got a tin pan for 99cent but had to pay 1.29 for some candy. –_​– Where they do that at???
Here are some name suggestions:
Low Price Depot
Bargain Mart
One-​Hundred and Twenty Nine Pennies and Up
Low-​Budget Supply
Cut-​Price Discount Zone
BUT YOU CANNOT BE 99cent Depot –_​–

*yes I am arguing over a few pennies but its the principle*

This was once my favorite 99 cent store in Los Angeles when it had clean aisles and easy to find merchandise. However, they’ve been filling every bit of empty floor space with crap and even filling every bit of airspace with more crap and shelves that get higher and higher every time I go in and merchandise getting harder and harder to find.
It may sound funny to say but their prices are clearly going up with a number of items listed at $ 1.25 and others as much as $ 4.99. I guess times are tough but just about everything is junk in the place and if I wanted to pay more than a buck I’d go to Target. This place is hidden to the side of Toys R Us/​Pavillions/​Pier One so parking is generally easy to find.
I now prefer Dollar Tree down the street to this place because it’s much more cleanly organized and I believe almost everything is still .99 cents.

You know what they have — some treasures, lots of junk. Beware of items from foreign countries that might have some type of ecological or other hazard. You really have to dig through stuff, the place is packed.
In the Pier One shopping center so good parking.
