Question on ordering online infectsub Jun 8th, 07, 08:40 PM #1

Hi.. I just order a MacBook Pro using education discount. My sister is a teacher. But the online process does not prompt for any verification to see whether eligible for education discount.

Anyone order apple product online using education way. Cos the shipping address is my house and my sister live elsewhere, does she need to be present to provide signature?

I have the MOE teacher card photocopy.. is that enough already?

And the deliever date is shocking:

Ships by: 12/06/2007 - 14/06/2007
Delivers by: 15/06/2007 - 19/06/2007

All i see there is 2-4 business day.. when i see the receipt is says delivery so long.. kind of feel stupid now..

I am not sure about the education purchase. But Apple will notify you via email on the shipping. When it has been forwarded to their courier company, they will email you. Usually, delievery will be on that day itself.

from what i heard, the delivery guy is from a company that just delivers from apple and is not from apple themselves, so he cant be bothered to check ba.

hi infectsub, MOE has the "IT department" where you can order computers/laptop/gadgets for staff price. Why you need to get it online?

now maybe never check...but as more people who are not qualified for edu discount go and buy ...sooner or later, this rule will change.
