Just a reminder for UK people that Costco offers easily the cheapest prices in the UK for non-built-to-order MacBook Pros.

e.g. The new 16in M2 Max is £3,499 while Apple asks for £3,749.

All you have to do is buy a Costco online membership for £15, which is open to anybody and not just businesses. And of course, you can use that across the entire year to buy other things online from Costco, including groceries.

I won't provide a link because I suspect the admins will think I'm pushing affiliate links, or something. But you can go to the Costco website and search.

I bought my current M1 Max from there and there were no issues. It arrived the next day. Costco rely on a third party to fulfil the order. I can't remember who it was (it's on the packaging) but it's one of the old UK computer suppliers that have been around forever.
 
How about build to order?
KRCS normally have 5% off list. Any other recommendations?
 
I don't think I've found many third-party UK retailers offering BTO options. Most just offer the base models.
