Macbook bought in Asia, can i buy apple care on Amazon?

hello mac lovers!
i just got my new macbook. love it! i want to buy apple care and have found it online (amazon) for about 30% less the MRP. is its safe to do this and will it work? my computer is registered to me at my local address in thailand. i will get it shipped to my stateside address so the shipping is not an issue. Any thoughts please? thanks in advance. h20gurl

Hi h20gurl and welcome to Apple Discussions!
An AppleCare agreement purchased from Amazon (or any reliable reseller) should be valid in Thailand, since the agreement is international for portables such as your MacBook. It would also, of course, be valid in the USA. There is no need to have it shipped stateside if you don't want to.
Once you get the AppleCare plan box, you will want to register it to your MacBook. You can do this by going to https://selfsolve.apple.com/Agreements.do and entering the required information. Remember that you must register the agreement with Apple before the MacBook is a year old.
Best of luck.

  • Can you buy apple care on refurbished macs book pros?

    Can I buy Apple Care on refurbished MacBook Pros? What's the warranty return policy on them? Will it be in Like New Condition when I get it? This is the one I'm interested in. http://bit.ly/1MND29o

    Good afternoon JesseAlexander –
    MacBook Pros are such great, reliable products and purchasing it Geek Squad Certified just makes it a fantastic deal as well! In addition to other responsibilities, I spent a few years performing the Geek Squad Certification process on products returned to Best Buy and I know it very well.
    To address your first question, AppleCare is sold directly through Apple. I have read through the program Terms and Conditions and I am not able to find a solid answer. I think your best bet would be to contact Apple directly by calling 1-800-275-2273 or visiting their Apple Support website.
    We do offer a 15 day Return & Exchange Promise on our Geek Squad Certified products. In addition, we offer a One Year Limited Warranty on them as well. If you are interested in added protection against normal wear and tear or drops and spills, we also offer our own Geek Squad Protection Plan available on our refurbished products. Feel free to click on the links to learn more.
    Our Geek Squad Certified products typically begin as returned merchandise that customers changed their mind about. If a problem is discovered during the return, it is automatically disqualified. The returned devices are then given the once-over by store staff and turned over to specially-trained Agents who put them through a standardized process to make sure they are ready to be sold. We thoroughly test and inspect each refurbished device to make sure it works and looks as it did when it first came from the factory.
    Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding our Geek Squad Certified products, MacBook Pros, Geek Squad, or Best Buy in general.
    Thanks for reaching out to us,

  • Can i buy apple care for a used iphone?

    Can i buy apple care for an old or used iphone?

    If it is within its original warranty period, and you can prove it, then yes.

  • Can I buy apple care not at the apple store? (Target, etc?)

    Can I buy Apple Care if I purchase my iphone 5s at Target?

    Depends.  In many countries now, you cannot buy regular AppleCare for an iPhone.  You can buy AppleCare+ for one, but you can only get AppleCare+ through Apple.
    In the USA see http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A/applecare-for-iphone  as in the USA, there no longer is AppleCare for iPhones, only AppleCare+ which is a different product (AppleCare+ combines extended warranty with Accidental Damage coverage).
    You can get AppleCare+ by phone or at an Apple Store, but must do so at the time of purchase or within 30 days of purchase.  If buying at an Apple Store, they will inspect the phone for pre-existing damage, and if over the phone, you must submit it to a remote diagnostic test.

    Where can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan?
    Depending on the Apple product, the AppleCare Protection Plan is available at the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple Authorized Resellers including many wireless service providers. Apple recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan in your country of residence, because each AppleCare Protection Plan has terms and conditions specific to consumers in the country or region in which the plan is offered. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • Can we buy apple care warranty after my iphone has been dented?

    And also, is apple care purchased when you purchase your iphone?

    From the support site:
    Important notes
    AppleCare+ must be purchased within 30 days of the date you bought your new iPhone. If you did not purchase AppleCare+ with your iPhone, you may purchase it at an Apple Retail Store.  To buy AppleCare+ at an Apple Retail Store, a Genius will first need to verify your iPhone purchase date and confirm that your iPhone has no pre-existing damage.

  • Can I buy Apple care online?

    I would like to buy an Apple Care plan online. Can I get the number key without mailing it to me?

    No, you cannot get just the registration key - there were too many illegal dealings with keys being sold dozens of times.
    But, you can still buy it online - either from Apple or from a reseller such as Amazon or this one - both offer considerable savings:

    I have purchased from them as well as Provantage.com several times.

  • How can I register Apple care for my iPad if my ipad's warranty is not expire yet?

    Apple care for my iPad will be expire in November 14, 2013. I want to extend my iPad's warranty. I already bought Apple Care warranty but when I register online it said I already had a warranty for my iPad. The question is, how can I extend my iPad's warranty? 

    You can only buy apple care once to extend your original warranty from one year to two. You can't keep reupping it every year if I'm understanding that's what you're trying to do.
    After your device is two years old it's out of warranty and not eligible for any warranty from Apple (some retailers sell you up to 3 years of coverage, but you had to get that with the device)
