Cost Plus has grown with me. As a teen, it was a place to pick up something small here and there (cards, lamp, frames), and dream about what "my house" would look like. In the early 20's, I was still just getting little things (posters, candles, linens) because I had no money, but I would have fantastic dreams about what I would do - one day. Moving into the later 20's, this became my go-to place for creating upscale Christmas baskets. (My favorite was an Italian night basket with the pasta, pasta sauce, bread sticks, Italian cake, chocolates, a few bottles of wine and wine glasses - and something special like a CD or special espresso beans. A classic given and appreciated SEVERAL times.) Now in my (sigh) 30's I've completely resigned myself to the idea that I will NEVER get anything but little things here. And I'm totally ok with that. Cost plus is my favorite place for Christmas. I do stockings for my whole family and I can find things that work for everyone(Ornaments, Chocolate coins) and things that show I was really thinking of them (This year's had a theme - everyone got drinks but that ranged from Thai Chai to Japanese Saki). My new favorite thing about Cost Plus is their jewelry section. It's made huge leaps forward in the last 5-6 years. Almost all of it is very "today" with prices that look very yesteryear. I found beautiful handmade beaded dangling earrings for $5. An amazing matching necklace was $15. These both could have gone for 2-3 times this amount and been absolutely worth the price. Let's home they don't realize that any time soon.... While agreeing with a previous post about the cost of the furniture, I'd say it's most likely worth the cost as those expensive pieces have always seemed quite solid. But then again - I don't go for the furniture. The things I love, which is a good chunk of the store, can each fit in a hand basket. If you haven't been to Cost Plus before, give yourself some time and walk down each aisle. It can be amazing the things you find hidden in the shelves that you might have missed if you just scanned down from the end. And wear comfortable shoes - you might be there awhile. read more

The staff is always friendly and able to answer my questions, they have a great selection and their prices on specialty goods are second to none. I'm a big fan :) read more

It's like a Pier One, only cheaper, bigger and without pretense. It's a great place to buy gifts, wine, and even furniture. I like to go here and just cruise around and explore, they have really interesting things, and a lot of artifact looking pieces. Oh, they also have an *amazing* candy selection! If you are a fan of imported candy, this is your place! read more

WOW!!! I went into today to grab a side table and Chris was BEYOND helpful! I was so incredibly thankful for her help! A+++ thank you for making it a wonderful shopping experience for my husband and I! read more

Short and sweet comes to mind when I think of Cost Plus World Market. This is the only place in town that I've seen Bundaberg Ginger Beer. It is the most amazing ginger ale I've found. If you're in there some time looking for some imported furniture, beer, candy or such and walk by the ginger beers, stop and get a pack of Bundaberg. It's pretty much the best reason to even go in there. read more

I've always found the customer service better than normal with Cost Plus, but wanted to give kudos to Katy at the Camelback location. I drove from Chandler to get a sale item that is being discontinued. She's sold the only two the day prior, but immediately researched the SKU, called around, and found one at the Happy Valley location. After driving an extra 25 minutes North, I was greeted, quickly determined to be the one coming for the item, rung up and sent back to load. Quick. Thanks for a great experience from a guy who hates to shop! read more

Always love this place. Every time I go I find new things to add to my house. Staff is friendly and helpful. The other day one of the employees went out of their way to locate something that must have been misplaced by a shopper. Thank you for the help! read more

If you been to one anywhere in the USA you have seen all the WorldMarket Stores. I have been to them from Santa Fe to Seattle to Phoenix and many suburbs in between. It's all the same! Over priced merchadise & art that is mass produced supposedly in other parts of the world. Groceries/beer/ wine once difficult to locate. Now its rather mondane and lacking a thrill. Narrow oddly arranged rows where you are bond to knock something over. Still people come and buy, my guess is because it's so predictable you know what and where to find that worldly piece to add to your surrondings as easy as if you were shopping Target or Ross just at higher price and a larger quanity of the same. read more

I stopped by one day to pick up an online order for a set of stacking cups, and ended up walking out with a brand new patio set thanks to 1) the huge outdoor furniture sale and 2) the wonderful staff. Because of the promotion, inventory was changing by the minute in all the stores valley-wide, and Joe and his colleague were so helpful, from making sure I get the configuration I want, to loading the pieces into our car (multiple trips on a very hot day), and even putting all the other pieces I wanted on hold at other stores so I can go pick them up at a time convenient for me. The level of service was really top-notch. I used to go to Home Goods or Marshall's for home decor, but I now check Cost Plus World Market first. The store isn't located in the most convenient lot, but it's worth the trouble once you get there. Besides, you can always reward yourself with a tea or coffee sample they have up front once you get in! read more

I love, love, love this place! If I had lots of money to spend I would have my whole house done in world market products! All their products are so unique! The layout is very nice and the people are super friendly and helpful! I just have to say it once more I love this place and could spend hours here. read more

Cost Plus World Market has been a favorite since I was a child shopping with my mother. Come here for great food, wine, art, accessories and home furnishings and other fabulous tchotchkes. There is always something and new to discover for a great price. If you join their loyalty program you will get emails of special deals and discounts, also $10 to spend for your birthday, The staff at this location is always helpful and gracious. If you need a price look up they have pricing guns at the ready to scan items for you. The clearance section always gets me since those treasures are deeply discounted but you have to get there when the fresh stuff is put out or it's slim pickings. This location is right off of HWY 51 so getting off at Highland while going North and driving through the little Mall area is my short cut to get here. I love World Market because you can spend all day here and never see everything; but you always find just what you need. read more

Good selection, well stocked, and fairly reasonable prices. I like the food and wine sections best - lots of my favorite British desserts, candies, and chocolates at decent prices. Also a good place to go if you need to find a gift for someone but you're not sure what to get. read more

I love Cost Plus. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is it tends to be a little expesive and this definitely stands for the furniture. I love the food section though! They have decent posters too... read more

My experience here was beyond incredible. Linda and Joanne were fantastic to me. They were kind, and extremely helpful. They even sold me a floor model table that I wanted, which they don't do. It was a solid slice of wood so every piece is shaped differently. I had only wanted the floor model. So they sold me the floor model and immediately put together a new table to be put back out on display. Customer service at its finest. read more

This location can be hard to get in and out of the parking lot. Employees are friendly and helpful. Love it that they let me come back for a credit when I forgot my birthday coupon. read more

Always great people working here. Service is their business, and they back it with great products and a great wine selection. You won't find a $100 bottle here, but you'll find the best $8-$20 bottles at the best price/convenience factor here. read more

Love this store! Always had positive customer service & I absolutely love the finds, very unique! It's definitely one of my favorite stores! Sales & coupons are always a bonus! read more

This is a swell spot. I love to go through here and look at the various things! I love the ethnic items and the housewares that they have. For a little bit you can get a nice look for a dinner party or gift. I really like the various food items that are from other areas of the US and globe. A lot of fun just to go through the aisles and see things that you may have remembered from your grandparents or childhood. Many nostalgic feelings on many items. I really love the assorted bowls, baskets and bins that can be filled with all sorts of goodies you find. It is the perfect spot to put a gift basket together for coworkers and family too! I like that a lot of the items are free trade from other countries. I wish there was more of that. read more

I used to love this store. I purchased two frames that I left their sticker with price and everything on the back but lost my receipt. I wanted to return them for a store credit and the lady said they won't accept returns on frames. Really.... frames??? read more

This happened in the beginning of the year. There was a small couch on clearance. I liked the size and color and it was comfortable to sit on. I noticed there was no sales tag. There was a sign that said clearance . I asked the sales person how much it would be for this small couch. I ended up waiting forever to have my question answered. About 45 min or so. She finally comes out and tells me what the price was. It' was a reasonable price. Then I noticed there was a black stain on the seat of the couch. It's pretty noticeable when sitting on the couch. I pointed it out and said to the sales person what I had found. No comment coming from her. She just stares at it. I asked the sales person if there is another couch for sale or not for sale. There was none left in that style that I liked. I was surprised that they would have a dirty stained couch on their floor. I left and went else where. I hope they change managers there. That place has changed. It use to be a fun place to go to with good sale people. Now they seem to be so disorganized and sloppy in their work. read more
