Cost Plus World Market

Disappointed with their customer service skills. They are inconsistent with how returns are handled. This shows that they are not knowledgable with their own store policies. No apologies after the cashier and assistant realized they couldn’t finalize the return after saying it could be done.

What AWFUL customer service! –_​_​_​–
I dropped in to return/​exchange a few items I received for Christmas. Rebeka, the sales associate, curtly told me that customers are unable to return items without a receipt. Completely reasonable. So instead, I asked if I could make an exchange. She called the manager, who said yes. The SA annoyingly told me to pick an item for exchange and when I asked what the price of the items were, she said, «I don’t know?» Lol, ok, so then I had to ask her to check…
After spending an HOUR looking for something to exchange for, I returned to the cashier. The same girl, Rebeka, then goes «I don’t know, now it won’t work.» So I asked for the manager. Then, the manager said, «Oh, we can’t do it. We need a proof of purchase.» Neither apologized for the inconvenience.
Needless to say, at this point, I was pretty annoyed. It’s one thing for the associate to be rude, but for the MANAGER to say one thing and then take it back?! No!!! Ugh!

I love this place! All of the staff are super friendly. One of the employees even helped me to sign up for a FREE membership to their program so I could get 10% percent when I went to check out. Ultimately I ended up saving about $ 24. The size of this World Market is a little smaller than most others, but they still have a lot of the same great things. I always feel like I’m at an international marketplace when I shop here and it’s super awesome! Keep up the good work guys!

I have never been to a World Market that disappointed. This store was clean and the employees were friendly. What more can you ask for?

This is a really fun place to shop at, whether you’re looking for gifts, snacks, or just random kitchenware, this place has what you need!
There are lots of great snacks and wines from all over the world, and the items are high-​quality too.

What just happened? I spent an HOUR in this store. My first time in. I can only imagine what my future visits will be like.
This place is huge. It reminds me of like Pier 1 combined with Fuego and Bed Bath & Beyond. Tons of just random gifts and gadgets, food, wine, household items. They have so much stuff. A lot of it is really unique items that you can’t find other places too. I came in for one thing, and ended up buying four other items too. Anyways, a lot of things I found include: kitchenware, blankets, unique foods from other countries, coffees, teas, games, wine, holiday décor, gift sets, pet stuff. So much to look at. I literally circled the store 3 times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
The staff is really friendly and helpful. Make sure you sign up for their membership club online — you get a 15% off coupon when you sign up, and every $ 200 you spend you get a reward. They also have member only prices on wine.
I am so excited to come back again when I get a house and buy all the dorky little things for my kitchen! Pretty inexpensive too!

Good selection of products. I’m giving it one star for the service. The employees here are rude and cop an attitude. They should be working at McDonald’s, which matches their talent level better.

I love it here. I could spend all my money in this place. I love the layout, the helpful, nice staff and all the awesome things for all over the home. I’ve been to three locations and this is my favorite. :)

The customer service at this location was phenomenal. I am surprised at how willing they were to help me find just what I was looking for when shopping for my Indian fusion wedding. Thanks.

Cost Plus is a fave store of mine. Have you ever done that game while out at happy hour or on a date where you ask certain questions to find out the tastes of your friends or date? (Can’t remember it right now.) My point is that Cost Plus is often one of my three stores I give as my answer when I’m asked if I could have a credit card with no limit to any store, which one would it be.
This location is slightly bigger than the one in Southcenter but smaller than the one in Bellevue.
i came in to buy things for Easter for my friends and found exactly what I wanted. They always have the greatest things for holidays. I also love the selection of chocolate here. Ritter Sport in every flavor they have can be found here along with many other chocolates and candies you can’t buy anywhere else in the states. Perugina, Brix and Mo’s are all great and sold here.
The cashier that helped me was great and friendly.
Checkout the flyers that come in the mail for their ads along with coupons. You can also sign up for their emails. You can also go to
to get an online coupon!
Huge free parking lot at the Landing.

They’re the only place where I can find my Violet Crumble bars from Australia! They are a bit on the pricy side for a candy bar $ 3.99 but I guess you have to keep in mind about the export costs and middle man and all that. I usually buy 3 at a time just to get my Violet Crumble fix.
Keep a look out for their sales and coupons in the paper. They’re scarves, jewelry and candles are surprisingly really nice and you can usually find them on sale. They have the cutest organizational things too and when you can catch them on sale with a coupon (usually 20% off or $ 10 off $ 40), it makes the items worth it even more!
The staff is friendly and really helpful. The only problem I ever had was the last time I went in – the cashier took about 10 minutes to ring me up (that’s a really long time to ring up 3 candy bars and 3 scarves) since he couldn’t figure out how to give me gift receipts. He had to void transactions and return things and didn’t figure out my coupon situation, so it just took longer than necessary. On top of that, he ended up giving me the wrong receipt back so I had to go back in ask for the right one they put in their recycle pile. Good thing I wasn’t in a rush.
Other than that, I’ve never had any other issues and will continue to stop by here for my Violet Crumble and anything else that may catch my eye!

Love this place, tons of out of the ordinary stuff that you can never find anywhere else.
The staff is very nice too, they offer up the ability to order certain products if it’s something that they don’t always carry.

Super helpful staff! Great imports with some shipping issues I encountered. I was very impressed with their follow through with my product needs.

They were very helpful, selection was great and the wine tasting was fun

I’ve missed you World Market, and it’s been awhile since I’ve paid you a visit! Yesterday I fell in love with you all over again!!!
—Ran in to grab something for a last minute themed bridal shower gift and wasn’t expecting to find much. My budget was far from large but I found a complete basket worth of goodies for around $ 30! 3 types of pasta, 2 sauces, cheese, sparkling lemonade, a card and a basket!!! Nicole was EXTREMELY helpful and was willing to offer suggestions and even wrapped my basket beautifully… for FREE!!! I was beyond happy with the fact that I’ve left the store spending under $ 50, that I practiced self restraint and got nothing for myself, tasted an awesome local apple cider and banana beer, got free gift wrapping and had plenty of time to spare before the start of the party. —Thank you Nicole!!! You’re awesome and a reminder of why I love Seattle so much!
—World Market should consider doing gift registry because everything you could possibly want or need is here! Should I ever marry, this is where I want my gifts to come from. I’ll take birthday, anniversary presents from here too! Now if I can only get my hunny to read this review ;) lol

This location is awesome. It is never super busy and I can always find a neat gift for just about anyone.
Great selection of beer and wine and the prices are reasonable. If you are a member of their passport club they always have special discounts on different items in the store.
They have everything from furniture, to bathroom décor, lotions, potions, jewelry, candles and just about anything you can think of in here. I love the seasonal stuff they get in. Usually pretty adorable.
Customer service has always been super friendly.

Great store! I love how they have all the seasonal stuff right upfront!
Great selection of everything you need from furniture, kitchen stuff, wine, beer, food and random accessories!
You can spend hours looking at everything they have.
Great prices and if you sign up for their club even better prices.
Super helpful staff!!! And great amount of parking!

I like this new location because it doesn’t get as busy and packed as the other locations. Super clean, bright and organized! The staff always helps me find what I am looking for and offers to order things from other stores for me. Great customer service!

This store is very organized. Spacious and filled wonderful imports from candy to wine as well as decorum like furniture.
I love the large selection of wine here. They are carefully labeled and organized so that customers can clearly figure out which wine they should buy based on the helpful descriptions and display of recommendations.
Everything here is reasonably priced, and if you want to save even more on your shopping experience, you can sign up for their rewards program.
Wonderful customer service and a great place to explore if you have time to spare.

I definitely spent a fair amount of time simply wandering the place, pondering how modestly I wanted to fill my new studio home. If I had a «house», how sweet would it be to fill it up with sweet nicknacks, paddiwacks and thingamajigs?!
The Asian associate, Nena (?), was very friendly & helpful when chatting and with a question I had on the clearance shelf. The other gals I spoke with were nice with some minor brain farts. :)
I came away with some unique silverware, kitchen and bath basics. I forgot if there’s a diverse map of sourced goods but everything seemed of great quality.
They also had a cool selection of the munchies (chips, etc), a few select Japanese sake and neat chai tea in the back.
