Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at World Market.
Explorer Discount + Friends and Family + Promo Code
World Market's best savings combination: the Friends and Family event (20-30% sitewide) is stackable with Explorer member discounts on qualifying merchandise, and available promo codes may stack on top. During F&F with all available discounts applied, World Market's imported home décor and furniture can reach 35-45% below regular retail.
Post-Holiday Clearance Stockpiling
World Market's most efficient clearance strategy: purchasing seasonal décor immediately post-holiday at 40-60% off for use the following year. Halloween decorations bought in early November and Christmas items bought in late December at World Market clearance represent some of the best seasonal décor values available in specialty retail.
Wine Department Comparison Shopping
World Market's wine pricing is often 10-20% below comparable local wine shops on imported bottles, particularly European wines under $20. Purchasing wine during a Friends and Family or active sale event creates additional savings on an already-competitive base price. World Market's wine selection for budget European imports is consistently underrated.
Explorer Points + Reward Certificate Timing
Explorer reward certificates most effectively apply during Friends and Family events or clearance periods where the merchandise is already discounted. A $10 certificate applied to a $80 Friends and Family purchase (30% off) captures the certificate value against already-reduced pricing, maximizing the effective savings ratio.
Price Match Policy
World Market's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.
No Formal Price Match Policy
World Market does not offer a formal price match guarantee. Savings come through the Explorer loyalty program, Friends and Family events, and competitive direct-import pricing.
Direct Import Pricing Advantage
World Market's direct import model on many product categories creates naturally competitive pricing on international goods compared to domestic competitors carrying the same items.
Price Adjustment Available
World Market may offer a price adjustment if an item goes on sale within 14 days of purchase. Contact customer service with your receipt.

- No formal price match against HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, or other home retailers
