Editorial rating
Yes, it’s still not the luxurious quality of custom-made products. However, they offer the best quality among the affordable options available in this niche. World Market is your best bet at getting a fair quality/price ratio.
They do not provide their users with information on the shipping companies they use. Some of their orders may be shipped without tracking number. They do not ship to non-continental states of the U.S. All of these things affected the final score.
Since these products are brought from international markets, the prices are very affordable compared to U.S. local brands. The quality that you get for this money is very high, and most of these products will last long.
The website design is very responsive by all means. It loads fast, and you can easily shop from any device. The design is not overwhelming, cause it’s minimalist and clean.
They provide you not only with the specifications and generic descriptions but also with the categorized feedback data. They show you the most useful review and the most liked negative review. This way, you will be able to make a fair judgment before you proceed with your purchase.
Most of their products have so many photos! Since they upload the pictures of happy customers with their tables, you can browse dozens of photos. These images will help you understand how it will fit your interior, cause you’ll see the real look of those products in another customer’s interior.
Many of their products are only available in one style. This is one of the consequences of selling unique/authentic furniture pieces brought to you from other countries.
However, when it comes to rugs, pillows, and other home goods, you will be able to choose the color/pattern before you check out.
They do not have a live chat. Their phone support works during regular business hours, and you can also send an email with your claim or questions. This is not bad and not good; the usual.
Offline Stores
More than 250 stores available nationwide. Exceptions are the non-continental territories of the U.S.
Mobile App
They do not have a mobile app since their website is very conveniently responsive to every device.
Their products have a warranty, but they do not upload the warranty instructions on every product page. So you will have to contact them about it. It’s not really convenient, but very popular among big companies.
You can get a refund within 60 days after the original purchase. The best part here is that you can return the product to any offline store location. So this means that you can bring a product for the return yourself and avoid wasting money on shipping.
- If you return your online order to the order without the packing slip, you will only get the store credit at the lowest price for the past 90 days.
- If you return your product after 60 days period, you will only receive a store credit
- All returning product must be in original condition and in original packaging.
They have a lot of sales that you may participate in. You can always find a great set of World Market coupons on our page and save money.
You can check out with the Credit Card or PayPal. It’s good that they have the PayPal option; many stores neglect this excellent payment system.
