Cost Plus World Market

I love this store! If you want something a little different this is the place for you! They have a variety of different foods and snacks from around the world and affordable kitchen supplies that are always high quality and cute! I just bought me some individual ceramic baking plates and have used them everyday to bake my eggs! Best part was they were 3.99 each!

I don’t shop here much, but it IS fun during the holidays. I shopped on a Thurs afternoon and there were very few staff on the floor — I had to go searching for them. The most annoying thing to me are items without prices, which many of the things I was interested in purchasing were missing, so I didn’t buy them.

Who doesn’t love Cost Plus? Oh, you don’t know what Cost Plus is? Lemme tell ya! Anything you could possibly need/​want/​dream of to bring into any room in your home… AND into your stomach!
One of the things I love the most about Cost Plus is that they are DIFFERENT than other home furnishing stores. It’s every detail without the overpriced flaunt of Pottery Barn or the cheap put-​together of Ikea. Cost Plus World Market is unique and brings in product by the season.
You have to be super careful here though… you go in for a card, and the next thing you know you walk out with 10 amethyst drawer knobs, 4 flats of New York Seltzer Water, grapefruit beer, three types of seasonal dried soup, and Apple Pie liquor.
Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year to shop here. There are so many stocking stuffers and gifts… for foodies, for beer lovers, for kitchen junkies, knick-​knack adorers. And while you’re at it, pick up a new piece of art, or furniture. Cost Plus World Market carries it all… except the kitchen sink, I think.

This store is a unique «trifecta» shopping experience!
It’s 3 stores in one– Cost Plus; Bed, Bath & Beyond and something (Harmon?) Drugstore.
Bizarre! There are no walls separating the «stores», they sort of merge together, yet there is a definite separate area to each one.
I felt like I was in the Twlight Zone retail edition!
Not sure this concept would work in all areas of the country.
Between the 2 of us, we purchased items from the drugstore and Bed, Bath.
Sorry, Cost Plus!
They didn’t have signage on the building advertising all the stores that I saw, but
sure is convenient if you happen to need things from all 3 stores…

The first word that comes to mind is chintzy.
I’ve come here a few times over the years, and in my younger days was impressed by their «ethnic» «décor.» I’ve since grown up, and the tacky plastic merchandise no longer evokes the same admiration.

They have lots of selections to choose from. Give this place a try and will return later.

Love world market, amazing products and fun finds! The southcenter one has gone downhill and the last five times I have been in have had horrible customer service. The associates are not friendly and act bothered if you ask any questions about prices or products while checking you out! In addition the have a horrible return policy. I tried to return two pillows for my mom who had surgery and can’t get out of the house, both had tags on, never been used, and I had original receipt and I was told they wouldn’t be able to take it back because I don’t have her debit card! Wow guess the receipt & item aren’t even necessary! So If I want good customer service and easy returns I will have to either shop online or go somewhere else!!!

Love the wide range selection of pretty much anything you can think of. I was there looking at furniture and recieved great help from Rhiannon. Thank you!

I’ve been here 100’s of times over the last 14 years. When I went this week, and went to check-​in, my cell was dead and I wondered if I’d written a review yet. No?! Well it’s about time!
I LOVE Cost Plus! They have the most unique items during any holiday in the year from all over the world. They have a big selection of gorgeous Christmas tree ornaments. I love to get all different kinds of treats, toys and candy from the world over for stocking stuffers for adults and kids. Easter is also a great time to visit for presents, décor items and treats.
My fave candy bar in the world is Ritter Sport. Cost Plus is the only retailer I’ve found in Seattle that carries more than the 1 – 2 varities you see at Target or elsewhere. For gifts for friends, I like to come in and buy them a dark, white or milk chocolate they haven’t heard of that rocks their world.
They have a big selection of juices, sodas, teas, bottled waters and coffee. I buy Voss Artesian when I visit. I like to try out the different root beers and sodas like a pomegranate Italian or the blood orange.
The snacks are also unique. In addition, they have some «regular» foods like pastas, desserts, breakfast items, and more that you would recognize and things that would be brand new. There’s a hot sauce that I can only find here that my boyfriend loves.
PLUS! They have jewelry, art prints, home décor, small amounts of furniture that rotates in, stationery, and kitchen items.
The store is never the same, even though this is a chain. The variety of things is pretty different at each one.
Every time I’ve visited here and asked for help or interacted with a cashier, they are happy to help me out. This week, someone helped me look for a sangria. In December, three people climbed ladders to bring down from the stock the specific chocolates I wanted for a corporate event.
This location has a big parking lot shared in the mini mall it’s in.

The staff is super helpful and the selection is expansive. I was able to get a few great & unique bridal shower gifts here. They also can help you arrange basket gift packages if you ask. If it’s quiet, staff members will be quick to help but they’ll also be quick to reel you into signing up for their rewards program.
I went in late one night and at first three different staff members asked me if I wanted to sign up for the rewards program. I politely said I’d sign up when I check out (since I was concentrated on buying gifts) but they kept insisting I sign up on the spot. Finally when I needed assistance, I couldn’t find anyone on the floor for about 5 minutes. Small thing but thought I’d mention.

I love the product range at world market. Where else can u buy lawn furniture, a bath towel, a case of wine and some bizarre Japanese candy?
What I’m not keen on is the service at the Tukwila store.
I’ve been there three times in the last month, each time purchasing several carts worth of merch, only to have the checker roll her eyes at me and apologize to the people behind me for making them wait while she rings thru my large order. Ummm, how about getting another checker out of the stock room and opening another lane for the people waiting and instead thanking me for enthusiastically supporting your store with my large purchases?
Honestly, your poor coverage is not my fault, so maybe smile the next time i or someone like me comes rolling thru with a big basket of your products. We are spending money. We make your job possible. Try to be gracious about it next time, ‘kay?

What I want to commend about this location is the staff’s helpfulness. I went in here on a mission to purchase a few bottles of wine. Overwhelmed with the selections, I asked a couple of staff members for some suggestions. After a few minutes, I was introduced to a variety of new options and personal recommendations that were informative and equally useful.
Needless to say, I appreciated their knowledgeable and acute customer service, which is why I always come here to shop for wine.

I was looking for a very hard-​to-​find item and Fiona offered to help me. She scoured the store and after about 15 minutes finally came to me letting me know that she had actually found it! Great customer service and I really appreciate her going above and beyond. Thank you!

A fun shopping adventure where you can travel to foreign lands without the hassle of a plane flight! I have always found their staff to be super helpful in holding items or assisting me in searching the store for that hard-​to-​find item. I recently purchased a couch there and Mike was super helpful in loading the item, keeping track of my delivery date and staying in contact with me regarding future orders. Definitely one of my favorite places to browse, shop and find my favorite things!

I love Cost Plus World Market!!! So many things you want to buy, even if you don’t need it. LOL I buy things sometimes just cause I think it’s cool and cute, and then wonder where or how I’ll use it or put it in my house. One of the things I like the most is the gourmet foods, teas, and coffee. Many of these food items are things I’ve seen or tried while traveling in Europe, so I’m happy to find them here state-​side. Their home décor and furniture is great. Another great thing about shopping here, their staff is a great resource for asking about wines and beers!
Their customer service is great too! We didn’t have a coupon with us, but the cashier was able to look it up and gave us our 20% off! YAY… gotta love that!
Besides all that, I could just send hours there, just looking around. It’s probably one of my favorites stores (besides, Trader Joe’s & CostCo… LOL).

Love the variety of items in this store!!! Great greeting cards, bacon hot sauce, wine, art, candles… I could go on & on!
The store itself is good size. Nice open layout for the most part. However the food aisles are too close together & if you enjoy browsing specialty food aisles you will feel crowded here by the other shoppers.
On one hand I wish it was closer to my house so I could go there more often, but it’s probably a good thing for my waist line & wallet that it isn’t. ;)

I always wanted to check it out since I see it next to my gym. They have everything from food to furniture for sale, not to mention an entire section for wine. Their furniture selection is actually pretty decent. I did buy a cart full of pillows and a bottle of wine. Rumor has it that wine tasting is coming soon. I spend a good hour there just browsing but definitely want to visit again.

Love this place!
The staff is very helpful and friendly! If you ask for help with wine they are more then happy to help you with profiles and pairings!
I love all the décor and kitchen stuff they have. They have stuff you can’t find just anywhere and the prices are great!
They also have a members club!

This is a great place to buy hostess gifts (soaps, candles, trinkets, jewelry, tea, kitchen accessories, etc.), plus stuff for Christmas stockings.
Good selection of wine, beer, and imported snacks. I’ve gotten some great serving pieces here.
As for furniture, I’ve been really pleased. A coffee table that we got several years ago for just $ 200 has held up really well and still looks new. A nice comfy chair for our guest room, some storage pieces for my office – I’ve found their furniture to strike a good balance between price and quality.
This location in particular benefits from tons of parking, and nice employees.
There are a lot of good reasons to shop here, and so I’ll keep on coming back!

There aren’t many stores where you can buy a loveseat, dinner plates, a set of towels and some Australian imported candy all in one stop. Cost Plus has always fascinated me for this very reason.
As someone who has yet to travel to Africa, I can fool my friends and family by buying accessories for my home that prove otherwise. Or India or Mexico, and so on.
It’s neat if you’re looking for unique touches but I hope it doesn’t keep people from traveling for paying good money to ship authentic items home while abroad. The selection of food always gets me as well as the accessories. I bought my sister a nifty yellow scarf for Xmas that she wears every single day. Maybe I’ll tell her I bought it in Switzerland!
