any place selling AppleCare cheaper than the 30%-off at B&H Photo?

[arrowtree]

got myself my first Mac... the Macbook Air.

I want to get AppleCare but don't want to pay the $249 full price.

After searching here and elsewhere, the cheapest place I found was B&H Photo of New York City. It's about 30% off. I don't know anything about this company, but they appear to be a very big company. Not sure if I'll I have problem registering it with Apple.... does Apple care where or how much I pay for the AppleCare plan?

Are there other places selling it even cheaper than the 30% off?

Thanks!

B&H Photo is an excellent merchant, and their AppleCare prices are among the best I have found from any reputable place. Not worth the risk of buying AppleCare from possible scammers on eBay.

Whoa! Thank you. I have heard good things about B&H, and their AppleCare prices are great. ...You learn something every day, and for me today it was that AppleCare need not be purchased through Apple. Wow. Thanks again!

FYI - I just got a camera from them (out of state) and it was not my first purchase. They have an excellent reputation.

Excellent! I was getting ready to bite the bullet & order Applecare for my new MBA from Apple, and saving $69 by purchasing from B&H was a very pleasant surprise. Bookmarked them for future reference.

Hi Henry ... boy, you do get around! Usually enjoy your presence over on the photo boards.

In addition to B&H Photo having great prices on Apple Care, I really appreciate that your buyers stock the high-end BTO configurations of Mac computers. Keep doing that ... !

I ended up buying the 3-year AppleCare for $11 less than the already-low
price at B&H Photo. Apparently I am allowed to get the education pricing
by doing volunteer work at the local college.(barely made it over the
require threshold of 8 hours per week to qualify)

B&H still has the most awesome photo/video annual big catalog, at least
in the US. Too bad I don't speak/read Japanese, because there's a
store in Japan similar B&H and their semi-annual catalog is almost
a thousand pages.(4 times as thick as thick as the B&H one)

If they shipped free to Alaska, I would order a new iMac today. I'm still pricing some items, so maybe the savings will offset the shipping costs.

Amazon's prices are about the same, if not a few bucks lower and they ship
computers to Alaska. At least they did when I ordered the a Toshiba 17-inch
laptop as a gift to my niece who lives in Fairbanks... not sure if it's because
I have Amazon Prime shipping? (the laptop was sold and shipped directly
from Amazon, not third-party sellers)

We'd offer free shipping to Alaska if we could afford to do so. Our shippers give us a very good deal on shipping to the "lower-48" but they don't make as good a deal for Alaska or Hawaii and that limits what we can do in turn.
