Apple education discount - theEDUstore

wallofbeans

Hi All,
I work in education and get the student discount at the Apple store, but I've just heard about this other site called theEDUstore - which sells Apple products at a slightly better price (about £100 cheaper for what I am looking at) than Apple directly, and also say there is a 4 year warranty. Has anyone used this company? It all seems a little dodgy and I don't know how / why they charge less, and I I assume the 4 year warranty is with them and not AppleCare. 

It would be great to hear from anyone who has had experiene with them before...

Thanks!

Any discussion is a few years old. I was hoping for some up to date advice.

Sorry then , I remembered it has been mentioned before but I haven't read any myself

I’ve had some trouble from theedustore despite doing a lot of research and seeing people on mse forums saying they were excellent with fast delivery and great customer service. I’ve also been in touch with another customer who is struggling with their customer service. Be warned. If it’s too good to be true it often is. Good luck.

I bought my last iPad from there. I had to chase to get it sent out but no other issues. It's part of a large company (XMA I think). Pay by credit card if you are worried?

I've heard of quite a few people having to wait a few weeks for delivery. And I assume their claimed '4 year warranty' isn't great and I'd just ignore it and get AppleCare anyway.

I just spoke to Apple and they confirmed that it is a legitimate reseller so that's good to know at least!
