Did you know The AppleCare HE Contract is only to upgrade and include the phone support?

The 3 year warranty comes as standard when purchased through Higher Education Store![]()
You snooze you lose, mine is arriving today so ill post a picture just to rub it in![]()
Honestly I doubt that it will take 3-4 weeks. I believe that Apple lists that as a precaution. After all it's better to deliver early compared to delivering late. They did it with the iPhone 4S and iPad and people were still able to get them in stock at their local Apple stores after the first two weeks. Honestly if it is telling you 3-4 weeks, I think that your MBP will ship out within 1.5-2 weeks (if you ordered a non BTO MBP).
Wow I was not aware of this - good stuff.
Haha, yeah I've been told that before by a Swedish person who I follow on twitter. It's the name of a character in a Robert Rankin novel, always remembered it for some reason.
Any news on 2-3 weekers getting further down the build chain? Been 9 days and counting, surely we are coming to the end of the torture...
Wow i didn't realise the HE discount was that large, thats a bargain for a retina mbp. If you select 'college or other further education' instead of 'university education or he' the discount is no where near as big.
Am i right in saying you cant go through the higher education store in the uk unless you are accessing it via university campus. When i try i get a message saying 'Sorry, you can only access the Apple Store for Higher Education when connected to your university's network.'
I hate waiting.![]()
If you access the page from campus then take a note of the URL it redirects you to, you can then access it from anywhere.
The URLs take the format http://store.apple.com/uk_edu_####### (where the # is a number)
I placed an order for a retina display with 16GB RAM on the 18th. My question is does it say processing until it is ready to be shipped?
So it will say processing until the day it is shipped if I understand that correctly?
I cant believe that they release this and they literally seemed to have enough stock for a couple of days and then everyone else has to wait a month! That is not like Apple.

Ugh!
Delivers 2012/07/14 - 2012/07/21
Ordered On Jun 13, 2012
It's funny how ordering on the 11th put people in the 7-10 group, the 12th in the 2-3 weeks group, and the 13th and beyond into the 3-4 weeks group. My delivery time is practically in the same range as anybody who places an order today or tomorrow. Not complaining. Just angry at myself for not ordering a day earlierlol.
So far I'm assuming people that ordered on the 11th June have had there orders shipped. Anyone who ordered on the 12th had a sniff yet?

Thanks to flextronics I could search for my package with the apple reference number and it seems like my package was finally transferred to TNT!
At least something is moving...
