Post-Delivery FeedbackNov 29, 2025
I was gifted a couple of pieces of the Mikasa Arabella series from a family member. My husband and I really like the pattern and decided to purchase more pieces to make it a whole set. It was easy to find the pieces and make the purchase. The plates were delivered on time. That it the last of the positive feedback. Once we opened the boxes, I immediately could tell the difference from the new plate to the old plates. The old plates have a more defined pattern. The lines are sharper and the colors are more vibrant. The old plates look newer when compared to the new plates, which I couldn't believe. The quality of the pattern is so bad on the new plates when compared to the old plates. I contacted customer service via email and their response was that over time, the quality of materials can change. I don't understand how a well known brand with high quality, could make so many negative changes. I don't know who is approving these changes or if there is a quality control section of the company, but they need to be replaced. I was so disappointed that I called the customer service number. The same thing happened. All they said was that over time, the quality and color can change. Quality should not be different. I ended up returning the product because I refuse to buy new things that look worse than the older products. There were even some plates that were different in color to the others in the order.
