Cost Plus World Market

December 21 I ordered a TV stand. I was required to give a down payment which I did no problem. About two weeks later I called to see if my item was in. I was rudely told that it takes a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks to get an item and that they would call me.
Five weeks of gone by I went in the store to see what the problem was. I was told by a manager that my item had come in and since I did not answer my phone it was sold to someone else. I told the manager no one called me. She said someone wrote on the slip they called me. I open my iPhone and showed her my list of missed calls and voicemails and asked her if the store number was in there. She said no. I told her to please refund my deposit. Which she promptly did and I promptly left.
I posted a bad review of the store and within one hour Rebecca, the general manager called me to see how we could make this problem better. It’s amazing that she called my right number and that I answered the phone. She was so sweet and so nice. She found the TV stand that I had originally ordered and had it sent to the store the next day.
I picked up my TV stand and she had included a gift card for me. Now this is the way a store manager should respond to an unhappy customer. I plan on enjoying shopping there again. Thank you for turning a bad experience into a wonderful one.

Best sodas ever! This store has everything from candy to furniture to baby toys to christmas decorations. The food is very unique and interesting. Very nice wine selection. Only complaint is that the placement of shelves and isles are very scattered and weird.

Beautiful things, beautiful displays. I can’t even begin to express how much I love World Market. I love this one — great location, and the people that work here are exceptional. I would highly recommend this place if you are shopping for any new home décor, or a unique gift to a loved one. I will always LOVE world market. :) Makes me so happy just going int there. :)

Nice store with lots of great home furnishings — accessories, etc and more! Staff is friendly and ready to assist you.
Found my wine bottle opener (the other one was giving me arthritis or rather I have arthritis)
I love that it’s located by Home Goods and the Container Store, just gives you lots of choices and ideas.
Perfect for wedding and Christmas gift ideas, but pretty much all occasional gifts.

They have good glasses and a big selection of them. Good Nik make for kids if you’re planning a trip to keep them occupied in a plane or a car. Good international food and a good selection of wine.

El Segundo Cost Plus World Market’s Peyton, «The Badge», is an arrogant flippant person who the cashiers have to call when they need management override for returns etc. Ye’s he’s referred to as «The Badge». I encountered the arrogant «Badge» on May 6^th 2015 around 6pm… I’ll never go back to El Segundo Cost Plus World Market because of Peyton The Badge. You should consider going elsewhere too and avoid the petty arrogance and small drama of a person like Peyton who lies about store policy. This could be dangerously misleading and costly especially if you buy a big ticket item at this place that you may not like later. Beware.
I don’t know what came over me but I purchased a lamp shade that was just not right for my lamp and room when I got it home — too small. So almost immediately I went to return it but brought the wrong receipt to the store. Darn. However the cashier who just checked me out 15 minutes earlier said «no problem» he would return the purchase to my American Express card. But wait he needed «The Badge» to approve… Up comes a heavy set guy wearing weird earrings running and breathing heavily just after we had waited for 3 – 5 minutes for a «badge» return authorization. Then Peyton The Badge said he could only give me a store credit without a receipt. «Store policy» he kept saying and kept up the lie. But why and why me?
I said ok.
I drove all the way home, got the receipt, and all the other items I purchased that I was going to keep, and returned them all for a full refund by a manager named Patricia. Peyton in the meantime hurried quickly to the back after he saw me returning with my receipt and a request for the manager.
Patricia the manager said «it is not» the store policy to «not» take credit card purchases back without a receipt. I asked her why «Peyton lied to me?» She said she didn’t know he had worked there longer than a year and she said «he should know better and I will let my manager know.»
The arrogance and flippant nature of Peyton makes me ask why does he have to lie about store policy? At El Segundo Cost Plus World Market it is clear Peyton’s arrogance and flippant nature doesn’t add up to intelligence or average customer service.
BTW: This is not the first bad instance for me at that store — I told Patricia that — I believe Peyton was the source then too. For sure, for sure, I won’t be back to El Segundo’s Cost Plus World Market guaranteed! 1 star tacky.
…Weird that the El Segundo and the Torrance stores have the same number of reviews…2 franchises under the same owner control? Just wondering… something looks similiarly odd about their reviews…

What’s not to like about this place? It is well stocked but not well always well scheduled for employees. I have to search for help when I need it. That is never fun to have to look for someone with kids right behind you.

Last year, my husband and I had just purchased a dining table from Restoration Hardware for our new home when I refused to purchase chairs through them because they were so grossly overpriced (we amazingly got a great deal on the table; very unusual for RH).
Imagine my surprise, when I walked into this CostPlus and saw almost IDENTICAL chairs as the ones at RH for a fraction of the cost (okay, half the cost).
I have purchased items for our home here over the years since it opened and the quality is average (better than Ikea), items are unique, but this was the first time I saw an item that looked identical to RH. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came from the same factory line; that’s how similar they looked.
Plus, this store carries great foreign food items you can’t find at other stores. I love coming here at xmas time to buy little items for friends or parties.
Too bad, I’ve now moved too far from this one…

If you are looking for a place that has very unique gifts from around the world from jewelry, furniture, kitchen, patio, bathroom, this is the place you can find any Items for all occasion, the beer and wine selection along with the cards and wrapping paper is kinda cool to me, candy selection from the 60 and 70 is awesome, they also have a reward program that save you money and you get coupons in the mail, but I really love about this place is the staff is so friendly and willing to help you with a smile.

I love world market! It’s a great place to go for gifts, you are sure to find something! You could put together a gift basket from all the fun gourmet goodies they have, and they even have the gift wrap and card to finish it of. They have a large selection of wines and beers and always have really great seasonal items. I always go at Christmas time to find stocking stuffers for my family.

This place is great for foreign foods, kitschy furniture and décor, & has a great beer and wine selection.
For me this place is all about the Beer! They always have Salsitos too.
Kitchen stuff, paintings, mirrors, lamps…
Very eclectic clientele.
Service is a little slow at this particular location, but overall service isn’t bad.

Soooo much to see. They have tons of stuff that you wouldn’t see anywhere else. Must prices are great. My favorite stuff are the home décor! Some of the things I did see similar at like s home goods but still awesome store for home stuff.
Lots of different food from everywhere! Wine and old toys that are rare that find. I seriously can spend hours there looking around.
Parking is good because it’s in a open shopping center. Join their email club for discounts otherwise, they don’t have any :(

Talk about great place for all your gifting needs! Teapots and wine and throw rugs and fluffy bathroom towels and everything for the kitchen sink sans the sink!
I love World Market. It’s fun to browse and pick up things you don’t need. I always end up with a few things that wow house guests and it’s so much fun to hand it to them as if I knew they would love it.
Need to spruce up your bathroom? For around $ 50 you can stage your bathroom and make it look completely different. Fancy towels, sweet smelling soaps, a basket of bath items, et voila!
Same for the kitchen… a few new kitchen towels, a coffee press pot, some placemats and linen napkins and you’ve got the makings for an afternoon coffee break.
It’s fun to meander through the wine… I usually spot a bottle that’s unique and tasty and perfect for a last minute dinner party. All you need is a few bucks!

This Cost Plus World Market is vast with wide selections. It’s located in El Segundo with Whole Foods, Best Buys and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
There’s so much to choose from. You can find something for everyone here. It’s a great place for gifts.

I love this store. I just realized that they have all the Christmas merchandise out from all over the world. This really makes me miss Germany. I picked up some German treats and a nice bottle of wine :-)
Everyone at this location is so helpful, the displays are beautiful. Thanks for reminding me that I should go back to Nuremberg this Christmas holiday :-)

I love this store — and this location is big and well-​organized. My favorite!

I simply love these stores, specially around the holidays. You will always find something interesting and fun. Decorating will become a new hobby. Staff is always friendly and prices are a hit or miss.
You will find items from all around the world (not proven yet) ha-​ha!
Your eyes will wonder around from all the beauty of hand made items :)

Cost Plus is a nice store.
Here’s a cautionary tale of my globetrotting adventures. I once went to Europe, found some really unique decadent candies, which were quite expensive. I decided to «bring back souvenir gifts» and lugged them all the way back to the US… only to find that those exact same candies were available locally at Cost Plus, and also for a cheaper price! :)
So, if you ever go on a vacation and forgot to bring back gifts for friends, co-​workers or family members, take a trip to Cost Plus and you’ll conveniently find the same stuff you would overseas and also cheaper, saving you the hassles of carrying stuff while traveling, packing, customs/​duties, etc.
COST PLUS has a great selection of food items, ingredients, snacks, etc.
They also have a good liquor /​wine /​beer section. One drink they have here, their own private label is a soft drink called/​flavored «BLOOD ORANGE» which is a lightly sparkling soda, which is one of my favorites.
They offer knick-​knacks, housewares, furniture, décor, and all sorts of ornamental items as well.
It’s a good store, located near The Container Store (formerly Borders Book Store) and PetSmart on the same side as Best Buy and Whole Foods in the El Segundo Plaza shopping area.
Parking is, of course easy and plentiful.

I love shopping here at the Cost Plus World Market. This store in El Segundo is pretty large. The items are very neatly arranged (but sometimes scattered across the floor, so it is hard to shop in categories). Nonetheless, the store is clean and there are always so many fun items to look at — entertainment products such as cups, plates, serving trays, to cooking items.
My favorite part of the store is the candies and drinks section. They have a pretty large selection of wines from all around the world, there are tons of different glass bottle sodas of many flavors (bacon, maple, blueberry etc), and the best part is they have candies that are super nostalgic — throwing back to the 1950’s.
Customer service is great here, as the employees are always happy and helpful!

I wish that someone had exposed me to Cost Plus World Markets long, long ago.
I had the pleasure of actually walking into one only recently because my friend wanted to check some stuff out for bridal gifts. Call me naiive, I know, but off the bat, I was always under the impression that CPWM’s were only «food markets». Can you really blame me?!
The moment I stepped inside, I was instantly gravitated to look and touch EVERYTHING. Are you looking for a store where you can find some cool stuff from around the world? Then go here! And despite my childish impression, there is FOOD available, but so much more…
If I could sum my experience up in a sentence it would be: An Indoor International Bazaar (Marketplace) stocked with Trinkets, Gifts, Authentic accessories from around the world, (literally) and all within the walls of CPWM.
Imagine yourself walking through the coolest marketplaces of India, Thailand, Mexico, Italy, Russia, etc., etc., etc., — only indoors, and right smackdab in your neigborhood. No wonder my friend wanted to go HERE for bridal girfts — she’s going to St. Lucia in the Caribbean for her honeymoon, and she was able to score some scented candles that were made and exported from the island itself. SO COOL.
