    Frequently Asked Questions
    Can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan anytime?


    You can purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan anytime within the one-year limited warranty period. Your eligibility for coverage under the AppleCare Protection Plan starts from your hardware purchase date. Apple strongly recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple product to maximize the additional benefits provided under the plan.

    What service options does the AppleCare Protection Plan offer?

    Apple may provide service through one or more of the following options: carry-in service (to Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers), direct mail-in service, onsite service (for desktop computers), or Do-It-Yourself (DIY) parts (so you can service your own product).

    What does "global repair coverage" mean?

    If you take your Apple hardware with you when you travel and happen to need repair service, the AppleCare Protection Plan offers global repair coverage. You can either go to an Apple retail store or contact Apple for information on how to obtain service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability, and response time vary according to country. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.

    When I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan, do I need to register it?


    If you purchase your AppleCare Protection Plan and your covered product separately or elsewhere, you will need to register your AppleCare Protection Plan. Your AppleCare Protection Plan coverage starts from your hardware purchase date. Registering your AppleCare Protection Plan at a later date does not extend your coverage.

    You can find several sellers on eBay that have history of 100's of sales of Apple care for much less, brand new sealed boxes and 100% legit.
    i have purchased many.
    Macbook/Macbook Air Care for $115 to your door
    Macbook Pro at $155 or under shipped.
    This seller updates his inventory every few days and sells out fast.
    I am not the seller ;)
