Guy was our cashier and he was very nice the place was clean and smelt good. I really liked it and would go back

The workers don't help you and everything is a mess but they have a few good deals. I was intrigued by the mirror and picture choices but overall I wouldn't say it was anything special more like a knock off Home goods read more

I just love World Market. We visited this location recently and ended up buying way more than we planned! They had a lot more Asian snacks then from what I remembered and the food aisles were stocked with tons of different things! The store was pretty clean overall, the staff we talked to were very friendly, and of course got a free cup of coffee/tea when we got there which is always great. Overall, even though we don't visit this location much, it is definitely a nice location! read more

I was shopping at this location on Nov 25 around 12:30. The store was cluttered and not easy to navigate around open boxes, etc. I found the items I was looking for and went to check out. There was only 1 cashier working. There were 2 people in front of me and two people behind me in line. After 10 mins of no forward motion, the 2 customers behind me left store. After another 5 mins and no forward motion, I left the store. Surely there was more than 1 person working? But who knows - the cashier never acknowledged any of us in the line and she didn't call for more help up front. I will not be going back. read more

Their costumer service was no help at all. I called inquiring about curtains that I had purchased and had overnighted. I did not get them overnight. In fact they are still not here after 4 days. when I called inquiring about where they were she said she didn't know and would not reimburse me for the extra I had paid for shipping. I will not ever order online from them again. read more

I think it's definitely declined in quality in reference to the other reviews on this store. The prices have absolutely skyrocketed and they've got a bunch of young teenagers working there now because they're the only ones willing to work for so little money. Still, a good store for imported goods and things you can't get elsewhere. Going at Christmastime is always going to be best. read more

I have been a loyal customer of the chain since I was a child, over 40 years now. I would never expect an experience like my husband had today. It may be the last time we shop at any World Market store - and we will DEFINITELY never come to this store again. We had bought throw pillows online for Black Friday, in two colors (4 pillows in each color) to see which worked best for our home. Received an email stating that only 3 pillows were available in the color which ended up being picked. No problem, we ordered the last of the set to be picked up at this location... and thought it would be easy to return the others at the same time. Boy, were we wrong... Upon entering the store, a very nice greeter told my husband that she would take the box of pillows, no need to carry them around! But by the time he finished shopping and returned to pick up the one pillow and receive a refund on the other 4, Cassidy had taken over. (Cue Jaws theme ) After a half an hour wait in line, my husband is informed that neither of our usual cards "show" the purchase, and he calls me. I forward the email to him but Cassidy informs him that they need a physical receipt. He calls me again, and I say that should be in the box - didn't anyone bother looking? He asks Cassidy if she looked in the box and - I did HEAR this over the phone - she snaps off, sneering that "most customers keep track of their OWN receipts." And walks away, before my husband can object that said box has not been in his possession since he entered the store. I mean... don't we all expect that if a return is made from the online store that the receipt will be in the box with the product? Apparently Cassidy hasn't been schooled in online returns. Or customer service. And she's pretty pissed about it, considering her tone and attitude! I hope that management in this store sorts her out, since I'd hate to lose the resource that world market has been for me for decades. Pretty sure they would miss the $10k we have dropped there in the few years since we moved to KC area as well. read more

I have worked in many customer service jobs, retail included. I am not a picky person and am usually happy with the bare minimum at any store. However, I had a horrible experience at this World Market location. My boyfriend and I bought a patio set. When the box was brought up front, we noticed holes in the box, some about a foot long, and asked if there was any damaged box discounts they offer because of the very noticeable damage. The lady at the register said no, but it was packaged very well, and we were fine with that. We went home and unboxed it, finding a piece broken in half. We went back which was a pain, but not a huge deal. When we arrived, we were told the only set left was the floor set. After inspecting it, we noticed fairly large scratches and residue stuck on a few parts from stickers in store, etc. We really loved the set and were told they would not be getting more and they for some reason wouldn't check if any other locations had the set. We asked if there was any discount on the floor set, because it was clearly damaged and coming to us as "used". The general manager came out and told us he should charge us a $60 assembly fee since it was already put together, even though we would have to take it apart to get it into the car. The manager told us that none of this was his problem, including the broken set to begin with, and left us with the cashier. The poor cashier gave us 10% off for our "trouble" of coming back, but not for the set being damaged and used. I reached out to customer service and was told they could do nothing for us. read more

Absolute best place to get hard-to-find international food/snacks/candy. Vegemite from Australia, Diem from Sweden, chocolate from all over, plus beer & wine, sausages, cheeses, every conceivable flavor of popcorn & potato chips, coffee, tea, Indian simmering sauces, and on & on & on. You have to see their selection to believe it. It's like a giant Pier 1 (rugs, pillows, jewelry, candles, incense, wall art, plates, glasses, napkins, scarves, etc.) plus food and alcohol. Super helpful staff too. Just a really fun store to peruse, and this time of year packed with even more stuff- perfect stocking stuffers like throwback toys, stickers, temporary tattoos, plus Christmas decorative tea tins, Nutcrackers, Santa shaped chocolate bars. Endless ideas for gifts! One of those stores filled with 'how have I lived without this thing for so long?!' items. read more

Went in to to grab coffee beans at 7:49... we were greeted by Alex with "the store closes at 8:00 due to winter hours". My wife looked at me and said "wow" what a greeting...We went back grabbed coffee and quickly tried to find a bottle of wine. The back was a mess with boxes of goods stacked everywhere. It was impossible to move around the wine, so we quickly aborted and started heading to the register. On our way to the front at 7:57, Alex approached us and reminded us again that the store closed at 8:00.... She quickly scanned our items ripping the bag and handed to me...I then asked for a new bag since the bottom was completely ripped and was moments away from everything falling out.... In the mean time alex is rushing my wife to tap her card, the terminal was giving an error and after a few attempts she physically takes the credit card out of my wife's hand and holds it against the terminal which finally worked. Keep in mind this is all taking place prior to 8:00... we are then quickly ushered out by three employees starring at us like we have committed some sort of egregious crime. Alex is rude and inconsiderate. This is not how you treat people let alone customers. I won't be back. I can buy coffee/wine anywhere and I'll buy it from an organization that likes customers. Back to Amazon where it arrives at my door with a smile.. read more

I agree with Rob M. that World Market reminds me of Pier 1. I easily spend an hour here because it has so many of my favorite things: home decor, gourmet food items, and imported wine and beer. Now they just need shoes and ice cream and I'll be there all day. I noticed on this visit that they also have women's accessories (earrings, bracelets, scarfs) and organic toiletries (soaps and lotions). Their home decor section has furniture, wall decor, flatware, stemware, and kitchen gadgets. They always have fun seasonal items for a reasonable price. However the one thing that annoys me about this place is that their furniture is expensive when it's not on sale...you aren't Ethan Allen, seriously. I love their gourmet food section as it does carry many hard to find items. But beware some of these same items can be found cheaper at local markets. They carry a good selection of tea and coffee as well as imported beverages like the popular Japanese sodas. To go along with their wine, they have a section with many great wine pairings like mini pretzel bags, chocolates, cookies, crackers, and cheese. They also have mini wine bottles and champaign. It makes me want to go on a picnic. Sign up to be a World Market member and you'll receive the special sales prices and then email coupons. read more

World Market - the front of the store - Home Decor Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This is probably the nicest and most organized World Market store I've been to. I shop at World Market as part of my job, so I have been to stores across the country. This particular location had a very friendly staff, and they were quick to get items for me.I will definitely return here if I'm in the area again. read more

This World Market is great. There is always something good to find and there is always a good sale to find. The store is very large and full of items. The snack section and the furniture section always have great products revolving over time. I like this location because it seems like it has a little bit more items than the location in Westport. read more

I think you already know what World Market is (if not just refer to the previous reviews). The question is...how does this one rate? Pretty good I have to say. I've pestered these guys on numerous occasions. I needed some bamboo blinds and they didn't have enough in the size I wanted (sold out online). They called around and obtained these for me... from Saint Louis or somewhere and didn't charge me and additional fee. I had to order something online because the item wouldn't fit in my car. Delivery was the only other option. It arrived and one piece was damaged and they swapped it out... there was some difficulty surrounding that though. They tried to swap me out for the beat up floor model piece, but didn't even roll their eyes when I insisted on a replacement out of the box. Nice employees. Always asking if I need help to my car and forcing me to take a bag even though I say I don't need one (even in the rain and snow). They just put it in words I understand: "it will keep your pillows from getting all icky". Oh yes, a bag would be good. They have Ginger Beer, Vegemite, Abita products, bacon chocolate candy bars and a chocolate banana swirl spread. You can even assemble your own six pack from their variety of bottled beers. Like Pier 1 yes... but more eclectic. I like it in here...and they offer free samples of tea and coffee in the back. read more

I go here to purchase wine because their prices are better than Costco, Sams, Lucas, etc. Their selection is kind of limited but it's not unheard of to spend $8 or less on a great quality of wine (I use Vivino to snap a pic of the bottles to see how other people rate them). I buy a bottle of wine from here that has been rated in the top 3% in the world and I spend less than $10 on it. Seriously! I recommend checking them out for their wine. read more

I don't get to World Market often, which is a good thing. A few bottles of wine, an assortment of spices, Pomi tomatoes, caramel sauce and a kitchen towel or two later I've spent more than I intended. But that's ok, because it's stuff I can't find at my corner big box grocery store and the prices are good. I love shopping here. read more

This store is like Pier 1 with food and wine. There is a fairly extensive gourmet food section with hard-to-find items. They carry a good selection of the Torani syrups, which are great for flavored coffees, baking and dessert making. A wide selection of domestic and imported beers (and they let you mix and match, in most cases). A pretty good selection of moderately priced wines that are good value. What more could you ask for? read more

Great customer service, amazing in-store selection, and they rarely sell out of anything, but if so the online store always has what I'm looking for and the items ship fast and sale prices are always the same in store and online! Love love LOVE this place! Their Instagram page also gives some really great ideas for DIY projects! read more

Their every changing selection of furniture and accessories from around the world brings me in from time to time. If I see something I like, I grab it. The sofas in my salon/spa were found here. I get compliments on them all the time. They were limited editions, so they're long gone now. Glad I didn't hesitate. I just love browsing this store. So much to see....and I can't leave without a bottle of my fave, Seven Deadly Zins (Zinfandel). read more

I love love LOVE World Market. This location is great too. If you're ever in need of a gift and you're not sure what to get, stop in to World Market and you are guaranteed to find something unique! They have everything from food to home decor to an assortment of bath stuff and jewelry. I don't think I've ever left here without buying something! read more

Use to work for Cost Plus World Market in the 80's (in a different state) - they're still full of the coolest things. I still go there for unique items, especially the food, and during the holiday season. They always have Tahini Sesame Paste, for making Hummus, as well as fantastic chocolates and cookies. My daughter loves their assortment of Pocky, and everything made with black licorice for Great Grandma. Great jewelry and tops too. You should really check it out , they're great for gifts for yourself or others. read more

What can I say; I love this place! Maybe I should have given it four instead of five stars, but, being from a small city which has nothing like this place, I think it's amazing. I especially love their gourmet and international foods section, as well as their wine and beer selection. They also carry miniature bottles of familiar foods (such as Tobasco Sauce), as well as some lesser-known ones; I thought these were super cool and would make great gifts for the foodie in your life. Being a person who loves to cook and create culinary items, this store is awesome. I love using foods that are new to me, or that I've never heard of, and this store has plenty of those. The service seems to be excellent. I was asked several times if I was finding everything ok. However, the sales person did not hover over me or make me feel like they were watching me, as they often do at Pier 1 (which is why I prefer this store over Pier 1). And, the sales people were super polite and friendly. Having worked in retail myself for a long time, I'm a real stickler for customer service, and this place has it. Great store! read more

I enjoy shopping at World Market. I usually go to the one in Westport but I like this location too. Probably 90% of my purchases are food and/or alcohol items. I love their selection of unique stuff and the World Market coffee is terrific. I am a fan. They do have very fun seasonal items and good sale prices and post-season clearance prices. I would never rule out their home decor section, but overall I've found it to be a bit overpriced and not with any real justification such as superior quality. Their kitchen and table stuff is generally really cute and quirky with decent quality (as well as better pricing than Pier 1 for certain) but the wall decor is just as cheesy and awful stuff as you would find in Gordman's or similar. Just bad. I have found some cute accessories here as well. You just never really know what you may find, but I'm generally happy as long as I leave with a Violet Crumble and some craft beer so maybe I'm easily pleased. read more

Emily with red hair was the most helpful friendly worker I have ever dealt with there. She helped us look online to find what we wanted and she went in the back to check for us multiple times for stuff. 5 starts for Emily. (Hope that was her name) read more
