I agree….how do they know you weren’t the original owner? How do they know you did not receive this as a gift?

Yes you can’t transfer the warranty http://www.theaeronchairs.com/aeron-chair-authorized-dealers.php I think Herman Miller fairly answered your question.

Hope you fixed your chair!

Yah.. after digging a little more into this issue, I’m finding that yes, it seems that many more warranties only apply to the “original purchaser.” I guess I expected more from companies.

Oh well.

You’re not being a whiny douche. Sure, plenty of warranties are non-transferable, but that’s a business decision that helps the company, not the consumer. The thought is, the warranty has been prepaid for 12 years. Why should the current holder of the item, car, chair or otherwise matter?

From HM’s perspective though, even if they did “good will” you one here, it’s a tough precedent to set since you’ve published this.

And lastly, it shows an advantage of buying a new chair. This is HM trying to help their network of dealers to move more units. It’s a subtle item, but none the less has and will make a difference to some. Maybe you should take the opportunity to upgrade to a posturefit back! =)

Yes, you are being unreasonable. It seems that Herman Miller is being more than fair answering all of your questions. Part of the price of buying something new is the warranty. When you buy second hand, the reason it is cheaper is because the warranty no longer applies. It is very rare to have transferable warranties in any consumer product. Stop being a whiny douche.
