I have a question. Since I ordered my iMac on Feb 6 and was charged for the auto enroll Apple Care on the same date, does my 3 year protection start on Feb 6, or when I receive the iMac?
This usually wouldn't be much of a worry, but since we are waiting up to a month to get the iMac, it could shorten my coverage by a month.
It will start when your Mac is shipped, it basically extends the standard warranty to 3 years. So your Applecare will end 3 years from the day it is shipped from Apple's manufacturing facility.

You and I are in the same boat! Ordered February 7th, delivery due March 13- 26th. There appears to be no logic in the way that Apple are currently handling the shipments though unfortunately... :/
