Buying with Apple Education Pricing in a country where I don't study — will they verify at pickup?
I'm not a student at any kind; but can I still buy from Apple Canada's Education Store or will it demand me to "Verify I'm a Student"?
Does Apple verify education pricing at all?
Apple education store promo extended to Canada today!
Hi everyone!
I'm a university student from Brazil and I'm traveling to Canada soon. I was wondering if it's possible to buy a MacBook using Apple Education Pricing while I'm in Canada, even though I don't study there.
When purchasing online through the Canadian Apple Education Store, I noticed that they don’t ask for any student verification upfront (no UNiDAYS or document upload). But I’m concerned about whether they verify your student status at the moment of in-store pickup or delivery.
I also read that during the Back to School period, when Apple includes a free pair of AirPods with the purchase, they tend to be stricter with verification. So I’m not sure if they might ask for proof at pickup or cancel the order.
My questions:
Has anyone ever purchased a Mac (or other device) through the education store in a country where you don’t actually study?
Do they ask for student ID, enrollment letter, or other proof when picking it up?
Has anyone had their order cancelled or rejected for this?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through a similar situation recently. Thanks in advance!
Planning on getting a base model Mac Mini M4 and don't want to spend $900+. So I am thinking on buying from the education store instead (Total came down to $760). But will it ask m to verify if I am a legitimate student? I know that users in the UK are having issues, but I'm Canadian.
Is there anything stopping me from selecting the education pricing when buying a Mac even though I am not enrolled at an institution? Do they ever check at any point in the process? Is this uncouth of me to ask? Thanks
