Pros and cons
Pros
- 90 days to send an unused piece back, which suits a table built up over time.
- Bone china carries a no-chip warranty with no fixed term to count.
- Price matching from authorized dealers, so a lower authorized price is honoured.
- Dinnerware may go in the dishwasher with proper care, though fine china suits hand washing.
- Free delivery on orders above $75.
Cons
- Delivery is confined to the United States and Canada, so buyers in other countries have no shipping route.
- Sizes are set by the brand rather than chosen for your table, so custom sizing sits outside the range.
- Free samples are not offered, so a piece is judged from its listing alone.
- The $8.99 price belongs to a set of fruit bowls sold at a sale price, so a full dinner service sits above it.

Scored 9.7 / 10 by HabitatCue.
Who it suits
- Home cooks replacing dinnerware gradually, who value 90 days to change their minds.
- Gift buyers whose orders clear the free delivery threshold of $75.
- Shoppers after a bone china setting with a no-chip warranty attached.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need custom sizing, since every piece comes in a size already set by the brand.
- Shoppers outside the United States and Canada, since delivery is confined to those markets.
What it does well
Mikasa builds its dinnerware for a working kitchen. All of its dinnerware may go in the dishwasher with proper care, and the brand suggests hand washing fine china so the pieces keep their finish. Its bone china carries a no-chip warranty: a piece that chips under normal use and care is replaced free, and that cover has no fixed term to count. Sending something back is straightforward, with 90 days to return an unused piece for a refund, though clearance merchandise runs on a shorter window than the standard one. Care guidance and that warranty together make a first setting less of a gamble.
Who runs it
Mikasa sits under Lifetime Brands, Inc., the company that operates the site, with headquarters in the United States. The brand has been bringing tableware to customers since 1948, which gives a shop like this a long trading record. Help runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can write in with a question, pick up the phone on weekdays or find answers in the help centre. The company also keeps distribution centers in New Jersey and California, which sit behind delivery across the markets it serves.

Frequently asked questions
What does Mikasa dinnerware cost at the low end?+
A set of fruit bowls is listed at a sale price of $8.99, with a regular price shown alongside it. Mikasa also price matches, though only from authorized dealers, so a quote from an unauthorized seller is not matched and the sale price remains the way in.
How much is delivery, and where does Mikasa ship?+
Delivery is free on orders above $75, and standard ground covers the contiguous United States. Canada is served as well, with orders placed in US dollars, and shoppers living elsewhere will need another route to the brand.
How long do I have to return a Mikasa piece?+
An unused piece can go back within 90 days of purchase for a refund, while clearance merchandise runs on a shorter window. A chipped bone china piece is also replaced free under a warranty with no fixed term, so damage and change of mind are handled on separate terms.
Can I pay for a Mikasa order in instalments?+
Shop Pay lets you pay in full at checkout or split the purchase into regular monthly payments, which helps when you are setting a full table rather than adding a piece at a time. Orders above $75 also ship free, so both work together on a larger setting.
Who runs Mikasa?+
The brand is run from the United States, with headquarters in New York and distribution centers in New Jersey and California. Trading under the same name dates back to 1948, so the store sits behind a long record and offers help on weekdays.
What does Mikasa sell?+
The store carries tableware, drinkware and bakeware, alongside serveware, flatware and gifts for the table and the home. Home accents add pieces in glass, metal and wood, so a drink set and a baking dish can be found alongside the plates rather than pieced together elsewhere.
Can bone china go in the dishwasher?+
Dinnerware may go in the dishwasher with proper care, though the brand suggests hand washing fine china to protect the finish. A piece that chips under normal use is replaced free, and 90 covers sending an unused piece back, so care guidance and returns sit side by side.
