waited in line for no joke, 25 minutes and when i got to the register the person asked "did it take a long time?" like girl yes. easily had 13 people in line behind me, with two ahead bailing due to not moving for 10 minutes. step up the game this holiday season WM read more

I really enjoy coming to this store. If you sign up, you can get discounts which is always helpful. Today, like most days, I explore the various items they have to see if anything is of interest. From food/snacks, candles to furniture and clothing, they have a vast array of items to peruse. I especially like that it is truly a world market so they offer merchandise from around the globe. It's fun to explore and see if there is anything that sparks interest. Fortunately, for me, I really like what they curate. I have purchased rugs, clothes, decor, wine, pillows, gifts, and more from this place. I absolutely recommend! read more

This place racially profiles like crazy, especially the cashier whose name is Gail. Walked into the store and instantly bats an eye at me and remains eye contact with me, while also mean mugging me. Eyes follow me throughout the whole store as i see her talking into the little mic or whatever. I actually caught her saying "keep an eye on that one" referring to me. Terrible service this cashier should be checked and not able to work. Do better world market!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Love this store, and all the awesome treats here. They even carry my favorite honey comb candy from Australia as well as my favorite hot sauce. What I don't love so much is getting the stink eye from the old lady at the register when I walk in. I do understand it is Tacoma, and people come in and probably try to steal stuff all the time. But that ain't me. She was an angel once we purchased something tho Que Sera Sera read more

Rude cashier. Bought this wall art and price said 29.99, but rang up as 34.99. I asked why and she said blame it on the president and the tariffs... She scoffed when i said she should honor the price on the front and said "yeah i'll bring that up to the manager". I often have great experiences here and love to shop here. Really disappointed. read more

World Market - Wall art - Furniture Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Just your basic Cost Plus. Long gone the days were it was a REAL import store. A place to get hard to get things. Most everything now you can get in any box stores. Use to be THEEE place to get Christmas ornaments. Not anymore. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

World market by Tacoma Mall. SMH Terrible experience with customer service today. I walked in and was not greeted like I noticed everyone else was. In addition, through the store I was stared down by several store employees as if I was stealing, same ones who greeted everyone else but me.. I literally went in to get a bottle of water. As I approach the front to pay, there was an individual at the register who I THOUGHT was another employee talking with the cashier. Thinking they didn't notice me, I stood there for around 5 minutes, no greeting no "we will be right with you" or anything. Mind you, being stared down by the manager in the aisle next to me while he is loudly talking on the phone. I speak up and say "is this where I'm supposed to be to check out?" Again thinking I wasn't noticed.. The employee Shad, responded "what do you think" visibly annoyed. Then proceeded to scoff and laugh about it with his manager, very rude in my opinion in front of customers. I made a simple mistake in thinking that another customer was an employee. When it was my turn, I apologized and let him know that I made a mistake, but the way he spoke to me I found rude. He snarkily responded. "whatever lady... and "I don't like the way you talked to me." Which, I understand I was mildly annoyed, thinking I was being ignored, which is why I took accountability for that, but his responses following mine were inappropriate for his position in the matter. That was my first, and last time ever going to this store unfortunately. And like I said, all I wanted was a bottle of water. read more

Great staff, good selection of unique food and products. They close early, but overall good experience.

Love this market. Found almost everything that I was looking for and more. Great selection of imported foods from almost every country. Lots of specialty foods from across the nation (jerk seasoning for example), great prices. Parking is easy, staff is friendly and store is clean. Will visit again. read more

World Market - shelves of various types of wine - Furniture Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I've missed this store and now that the Pier 1 is closed this is the closest I'll get. I always seem to find something to buy here, whether it be trinkets or bath and body or food. Airways a nice variety of everything. Today I picked up cute wooden measuring spoons, pho soup spoons, food items, small colorful gift bags and a yummy smelling candle. Staff was courteous and helpful. Of course masks required to enter. Staff wore masks and I believe they had hand sanitizer available although I carry my own. read more

Went in for their elf hunt advertised on sign in front of store. Drove 20 minutes to pick kid up early from school and all the way back so I could bring him at 4:00. Employee was unhelpful with event details said to come back at 4:00 when it starts. We came back and waited until 4:00 pm at the front of the store until event started. Noone else was up front so we thought for sure we would find an elf. I let the kids start looking right at 4:00 and by 4:05 all the prizes were gone by men that were in the store shopping watching where they here hidden. Kids dissapointed! Didn't even know we should be looking for pieces of paper not elves like sign said. Horrible waste of time event that only taught kids if you want to win okay to cheat. read more

Such a wide variety of items that are all to satisfy your hunger, your thirst (alcohol and nonalcohol), and your house. Visited on a Saturday evening and it wasnt so packed. We were looking for some holiday goodies to gift and found some really affordable items. It is a much smaller store than the other ones i have gone to up north but they still carry some of the same items. The staff here was super friendly. They all seemed to be busy due to it being Black Friday weekend but they were able to still help customers and keep the store organized. read more

Great place lots of cool stuff to check out. It genuinely is a place you have to check out in Tacoma. I have bought beer here before, as well as dishes, they sell toys and candy and furniture and more. read more

I love this place. You can find all sorts of random snacks here. It has a good wine selection too. I come here every now than to browse around and pick up something random. The employees are very helpful and friendly as well. read more

World Market - Things like this you can find here! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I am disabled. Thete are usually no motorized wheelchairs in major craft stores. Seems every other "group" is being accomadated. I needed a few things and felt this store would have what I needed. I was a bit in pain, and had walked around this large store and not gotten just what I needed. I thought if leaving just to rest my back. I asked Regan if there were any chairs as I had to rest between departments. She spent extra time for me. She also took the concept of what I was looking for, and went to get examples. She was able to help me find what I wanted, and help me navigate where things were in the store. She went out of her way for me. I am in awe, as I never get an insightful person to help me find what I am after for craft projects. It takes me longer in a craft store, but usually there are no chairs or motorized wheelchairs. read more

I've had an okay experience here. Frustrated because I got curtains. They had barely any selection. The curtains weren't the right color for my space. I called the store and asked if they'd have any more curtains come in, and they said they would and had a bunch on the truck. I waited a few days and went back but no curtains. I asked in desperation for the display curtain instead . Went home and realized the display curtain didn't match the other curtain, going back for the third time to return. The customer service was okay but also seemed like no one knew what was happening or what to do. Beautiful store, but I wouldn't expect much as far as what's available. read more

This is such a fun store to shop at. I love the variety of things they always have and how clearly laid out the store is. Last time I stopped in, mostly to kill some time, I ended up with two great new pans (love their green pan line, truly non stick but with no chemicals!!) an outdoor pillow for one of my patio chairs (at 20% off) some candles and new kitchen tools. It was easy to get around and see the selection and almost everything was on sale, I spent just over $100 for all my goodies. I've found some great gifts for people there over the years also, always original and well made. It's a great spot for that one thing you need for a gift, their selection is big but not overwhelming and the staff is super helpful. Most importantly none of the stuff they have is junky. It's all nice stuff you'd be happy to give to a friend or family member. read more

They have really cute things here. I was looking for shower curtains, rugs, something cute for decoration and i ended up loving everything i got. They have some international treats and yummy stuff. Some stuff was 50% off which was cool plus ibotta had an offer of 8% cashback that made it even nicer. read more

I don't think I've ever been to a WM I haven't loved. they're always stocked with the same things, which are great things for almost every purpose in life....no fresh veggies, but just about everything else you'll ever need to live a rich full life. so you could move in there and ask small children to drop zucchinis and tomatoes through the mail slot and all would be well with your soul....provided you could take invisible pills, this is all a very real possibility. okay then.... signing up for their rewards card is a wise decision as you will get emails which give you anywhere from 10-25% off your purchase (except booze) and that can save you loads of cash. Also, if you shop often enough, you begin to accumulate $10 free monies. I believe it's every $100 you spend, you get $10. I just went here tonight with my 15% off coupon in one hand and $60 worth of earned rewards I accumulated from buying other wonderful things. so it's getting free stuff to shop. I bought a $300 mid century cool TV stand but only paid $200 for it. so make sure u take advantage of rewards. I get couches and such here, so my rewards really add up. do dig around in their foods/snacks for really good deals on imported foods, candies and beverages. and check the end caps near the bathroom for clearance edibles. if you're weird like me, you'll like the foods that apparently others dont and save song kaching while you're at it. also, if you love someone, get them a world market gift card so they can choose things to their liking. and while your at it, get a unique gift bag and pick out a few things that show you know their taste. I'm practically an ancient artifact so I remember when Pier 1 imports was what world market now is, before some sinister import villain in an I'll fitting nylon suit bewitched it into not carrying all sorts of kitsch for a screaming deal...(is it just me or does Pier 1 always have Christmas trees in there???) ughhhhh. used to be so cool in the 80s. let's see if I had to say something I don't like I'd say....some of their curios and knickknacks are the generic made in China stuff....like you'd find at a craft store. I prefer they stick to the Rajasthani and Jaipur handmade works, for example. I know the Chinese need to be in on world economics and they have their place,...it just shouldn't be here. let Target do that, and you stand out as unique. read more

I love World Market in general. The big issue comes when I make A special trip to the store, see the hours posted as 10:00 for Saturday and come back at 10:00 only to find the store still closed. Several employees see me outside and don't take the time to let me know the REAL hours for the store are posted online...11:00. On a Saturday. They should probably change the multiple signs that say they open at 10:00. read more

This is review is specifically for the rude and unprofessional customer service I received from Jim at the Tacoma store. There was a confusion with my online order and Jim was very aggressive as I felt attacked about my purchase making it seem that I would walk just leave without paying for an item. Zairaiyah (sp?) the original rep I was working with was professional and even apologized for the behavior of Jim. Jim said she was new and didn't know process. Looks like she can give him some pointers on how to deal with customers. This was my first negative experience with Cost Plus so this will not prevent me from shopping here but I will definitely publicly state when I was treated fairly and when someone stepped in and did the right thing. Thank you Zairaiyah for making a terrible situation better and not leaving a bitter taste about my experience. read more

This place is awesome! Absolute best customer service from Molly, Macy and Mya! The 3 Ms! I traded in my rug for another color and they made it so easy. When I got got my new rug the manager cleaned it down which I didn't even care about being dusty. They definitely go the extra mile and I will definitely be back! read more

I went in looking for something very specific so I didn't do a lot of looking around but my gosh this store has sooooo much cool stuff! I must say first and foremost that the staff is PHENOMENAL! I needed 8 glass jars of a specific size and there were only 6 on the shelf. I spent about 10 minutes in the store while one employee looked all over for any sign of more. One of the other employees, was very nice and personable so the 10 minutes really flew by. After all the work they put into finding the extra 2 I ended up having to leave with just the 6, but they are going to notify me when another shipment comes in and they gave me a rain check on the coupon price that I had for 30% off of the item since the coupon will be expired by the time they get more. Will definitely be back for my 2 glass jars and probably a lot more after that! Top Notch Customer Service!! read more

Absolutely super store! They have everything you need for kitchen/home decor - plus eclectic foods and a vast wine selection. The staff have been just awesome - very friendly and helpful finding stuff, and for setting us up for the discounts/coupons. Very nice experience for the first time today.... really nice store with really good prices Dave read more

This is such a great store. I've put together some great wedding and housewarming gifts here, always on a very reasonable budget - and I invariably find a few goodies I didn't know I needed for myself, too! Today, for example, I went in there looking for some fun things to fill a gift basket and also managed to come out with a nice wicker laundry hamper for $14.99 - more than $20 cheaper than any comparable baskets I'd found at Target, BB&Beyond, or Walmart. Score! I don't know how the selection at this store compares to other World Markets in the area, but the staff was quite friendly and helpful and the store was well maintained. read more

Every single time I've come here I've always had a positive experience. Employees are always happy, friendly and ready to help! I love this place!! read more

I liked this Cost Plus better than their location from my former hometown in Fort Collins, CO. For one the liquor laws are different in Washington and you have access to a wide array of alcoholic beverages just by going to places like Cost Plus or your local grocery store. One stop shopping at it's finest. They have a wonderful selection of wine to gander through here! Another reason why I like this Cost Plus is that the layout of their shelves seem to be more organized and easier to view everything they have. This is especially true for their grocery section. Still with the better layout I have been to other Cost Plus stores that are more organized still. For one, one of their stores had all of their wine in one big section of the store and had a wine consultant which was really awesome but given the space this store is given that is probably unrealistic. Cost Plus continues to bring in adorable domestic and home decor products. I love my sushi roll Christmas ornaments I bought here! I keep finding new things to love everytime I go here and most of it is in the grocery section. I am finding some of these items are easier to buy out here but I highly recommend you take a peak at their chocolate candy bar section. If you can score a Vosges or a Wild Ophelia candy bar then you are in for a treat! They also have a nice selection of the Hawaiian brand potato chips which are very good and my latest infatuation is the Chai Cola soda pop which is located in the soft drink section. Cost Plus continues to supply me with exotic and yummy treats and I always look forward to going here! read more

I love this place! The only sucky thing is this place is not cheap. I was throwing my Son's welcome home party and was able to find great serving plates for a reasonable price. I love there beer selection (I don't drink but I normally bring my husband a random bottle home to add to his collection) and the syrups for Italian sodas/coffee. Great place to pick up items for a unique gift basket or a weird piece to complete the look of your living room. Store is extremely well organized, friendly attentive staff with a quick wait in line. read more

People say this place is not cheap, but if you sign up for their email list, you will CONSTANTLY (not in the bad sense) be sent all sorts of coupons and deals. Often they are 15% off or (my favorite one is) the $10 of $30 purchase. That always gets me in the store. When I buy something for $20 I can easily add $10 of food (from SO many cultures) that I know will essentially be free. If it weren't for these coupons, I think the place would be a bit too pricey for me. Luckily, their "explorer" club has the best deals! read more

I unfortunately have been ignoring this gem of a store since moving to this area:( The complex it is located in, can be deceiving and I just always forget to stop by, but not anymore! I joined the store membership offering emails and such for coupons, which gives me a constant reminder that they are close by! The variety in this store and the products it offers are quite phenomenal. Alot of earthy things, recycled, organic and such. Now my fav section would be in the back were they have the wine!! Cupcake is my new fav brand of wine and it is decently priced:) I have yet to purchase any type of furniture yet but I always see other customers looking and checking it out, I see pretty good deals on the furniture since they are a little high end on the price. All in all, a great place for wine, smell goods (candles) and just neat decorative things for the home and office. Oh the jewerly is pretty rare too, so if you are into variety and having a great selection, check it out:) read more

World Market is always great. The staff at this location are friendly and helpful. After visiting the location in South Center, though, I'm amazed at how limited the selection in Tacoma is. There's a LOT that isn't sold here that you can find in Tukwila. We got our kitchen table here, and it's extremely solid and well made. The price was perfect. They didn't have enough chair pads in stock, so I had to make a trip to another WM just to complete my set, which was pretty annoying. They didn't offer to get the pads in for me. read more

LOVE world market! They have everything from kitchen/home decor to art to wine to my favorite, the food section in the back. Everything is affordable and even though I don't drink, they have a HUGE selection of wine/beer to choose from. I went in today and I was so excited to find Popcorners, Somersaults and Crave Canyon popcorn! All which I have yet to find at my local grocers. read more

What a fun store and the variety of food and alcohol beverages are amazing I love to look in this place and see things from all around the world I love different cultures and the store helps me experience all of them read more

I go here often for wine/champagne. Their prices are VERY competative. The staff is very friendly and they have a great selection of home decor. read more

Wondering where you can score that one of a kind coffee table that looks like it was beaten ceremoniously by islanders in a fertility ritual? look no further...and you can bring home a bottle of Lambic Framboise to break it in! The manager let me birddog him on floor model prices - but two brand new in the box pieces came with dirty little secrets: 6 left sides to a drawer and no right sides for a dresser, and a filing cabinet which opened only 5 inches with all my brutane. They've been cool about exchanges so far... read more

This store is loaded with goodies from around the world including India, Korea, etc-etc that are full of character from home decor, food, kitchen items, etc-etc. Items are sold at a reasonable price of cost + 10%. If you missed that unique piece while traveling or couldn't justify shipping it over, here's your best bet for treasure-hunting for a similar piece. read more

The shelves are teeming with treasure- mostly edible or decorative. This is a great place to find treats from around the world, alternative gifts for the person who has everything or a little something for yourself. The wine and beer selection are good, we can find the odd items we're looking for like wheat gnocchi and vegemite, as well as a pitcher shaped like a camel to serve tea. It brings some happiness and joy into our house or others. The staff are always very friendly. They usually have some good clearance deals. The only downside is getting there, which is not Cost Plus's fault, but maybe try to go during daylight hours. read more

I used to really enjoy shopping at the store but now I can never find what I am looking for they are always out of items, stock is always low. I've ordered items and never been called back. Keep stopping in every once in awhile and same items are out. I found a different place to shop online now. read more

Love the products the store offers. However, my experience with their items on "sale" is not a favorable one. Two items, same product and price barcode with 2 different prices printed above the barcode. 1 with a $1.00 difference cheaper than the other, item was on "sale" but sale price was a $1.00 more than the cheaper labeled item. How can it be? read more
