Cost Plus World Market

The last four times I’ve been in this store there have been stupidly long wait times. On two occasions I could have walked out with the items because no one was at the register. (I would never do that) It is inexcusable sone one must be at the till!
Today, another really long wait time. The manager called for all additional back up to help bring people up. I was behind someone but she put the closed register sign up as I came up to her. Incredibly rude!
I walked out very frustrated and without buying a damned thing. I don’t see myself going back any time soon, especially before Christmas. I hope they get it together after.

I love the variety of items in this store and can buy something from each section but I dread checking out since the staff push their membership. Today the staff asked if I was a member as I was browsing. When I told her I wasn’t she spent way too much time trying to convince me to sign up. If that wasn’t bad enough the gentleman at the register was worse he even said that I was getting him in trouble and he will lose his job because I refused to enter my telephone number. Then he told me to enter my number because I might be in the system and just maybe I’m a member after all. While some idiot will fall for that just ring up my stuff so I can move on!

Generally I stop here for Torani syrups. I’ve been to locations with more of a selection. The other items there are neat and crafty but seemingly overpriced. They offer Lots of discounts and coupons that shouldn’t be passed on. The service was great though. Two people asked if I needed help as I was looking around and the cashier came to assist even though I was one person waiting on another. We chatted casually before I left and it felt good. I don’t come here much but when I do it’s a nice shopping outting.

I found the cutest blue mason jar themed cookie jar, teaspoon set, and spoon holder! My sister just loved them. I enjoyed looking around at everything! This is a fun place!

Really cool stuff. Great place for stocking stuffers. As many neat unique items as they offer I never really seem to need anything from here.

My wife and I have been shopping from the time they opened several years ago. I don’t remember when that was but quite a few years ago.
We have been fortunate to be able to travel and it is nice to have a place you can go and get some of the things you got while traveling. They have a good chocolate section where you can get chocolate from different countries. This can be seasonal and not always available. I don’t drink much wine or beer but the selection seems to be good.
The people that work there are quite knowledgable about what they have and if they are out or don’t carry have been helpful in helping us find the product we were looking for.
My experience has a been when I was looking for something and ask they just drop what they are doing and away they go with you helping you find what you need.
If you have not been? There are several in the Phoenix area. I always come here because I get good service,

So I come here for their weird selection of international
gourmet foods. If you’re a chocoholic and you want something
other than Hershey’s or Nestle than this is a place you might
want to check out. All sorts of chocolates from all over the
world with weird stuff mixed in. They should do chocolate
tastings the way some stores do wine and beer tastings. They
also have candies from all over the world. A section of Korean
and Japanese candies. A section of Hawaiian snacks. Australian
candies and snacks — from Violet Crumble to Vegemite. A pretty
decent selection of wines, beers and sodas. They also have a
furniture and a bath section reminiscent of Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Not really a place for regular grocery shopping but more for
novelty snack items. Plenty of parking as it’s in a big mall.
If you shop there with any frequency, they have the World Market
Explorer program with savings, free coffee, and all sorts of other
perks as long as you give them all your personal info so they
can spam you and crank call you and ding dong ditch you on your
birthday.

Awesome store. Very unique selections of decoratives, food, jewelry, etc. Prices are decent for food products but a bit high for home goods. Can add a very unique touch to your home though.

–Friendly, helpful staff… they seem like they enjoy working there.
–Good prices on coffee $ 5.99 for the Breakfast Blend. Tasty coffee.
–Lots of coffee, novelty candy, & wines. Also they have a ½ aisle of mini food items, and stuff to make a food gift basket.
–Unique housewares stuff, small furniture pieces, bathroom décor things, etc… decent affordable prices.
–Did I mention the friendly staff? They greeted me and thanked me… very helpful too. This kind of good retail service is becoming a rarity these days.
–Convenient parking… a few shops over from Old Navy.

You want to know what I did…
I just missed out on a slew of great furniture finds. Upset? I would say so! But you know, I’m learning to be more responsible and not just fling my cash about, I had to sit and wait and make sure things were going to pan out the way they did. I do have regrets though, like an awesome 3-​piece dining set that was only $ 175 that sold out fast… But even after the major furniture clearance event I was still able to find some great deals. Like a dog bed for my precious Alice-​ma, and awesome room accents for the pretty much empty abode. I hope there is one of these closer to my new location, otherwise I will be doing a lot of fuel burning trying to get around to see whats at this CPWM! Even if its not a huge sale, at least being a member of their buyer program can get you a 10% off discount on everything stocked!

I love the theme of this place with gourmet snacks, coffee, tea, condiments, beer, wine, glassware, etc. Prices aren’t bad either. The thing that holds this place back is the location in a small parking lot adjacent to Old Navy, and they keep all of their beer at room temperature. Since much of it is slow moving, that means it is at room temperature for a long time, which can easily result in bad beers.
Customer service is usually good here for me. I’ll continue going, but only at off-​peak times to avoid the annoying Old Navy people that fill the lot.

I’m a huge fan of their wine section. They have a fantastic offering of wines from all over the world and at very reasonable prices. It’s fun to walk down the isles and read about the different wines and learn about new ones from their knowledgeable staff. I could walk out of that places with boxes and boxes of wine, but I try to control myself as to not look like a crazy alcoholic.
Beyond their wine offerings, they’ve also got a lot of great and affordable housewares. I’ve gotten quite a few furniture pieces here, and they always look expensive and durable but cost well below your standard furniture prices. It’s also a great place for finding food brands from other countries, small food distribution companies and regional and local brands. Finally, they have a small but growing jewelery and accessories area that showcases hand-​made items from locals in other countries.
It’s a great place to shop for gifts and for finding distinctive items for your home and pantry.
