I ordered with the student discount but I might cancel in order to benefit from a friends employee discount. I need to check if there is really that much cash saving and how long it would delay the order ...

The shipping window is still 2-3 weeks, so since you ordered 4 days ago, it shouldn't make a big difference. How much discount can you get from the students' and employees' options?

Around 6%

Actually with the student discount - online - I got a little more than 9% (saving 150 euros).
My friend told me the employee discount should be around 15% but he needs to check. Hey if I can shed a little bit off the price I won't say no ...

With those prices, every discount makes sense ;)

Not sure how it works in Poland but on the French site they do not ask for any proof (they might occasionaly check and ask you a copy of it). If you can, it's really worth it to go through edu store (worse case scenario they ask you to pay full price...)

I got 12% discount on my MBP 15" and 33% discount on apple care :)

I don't know either how it works through the Apple Store here, but buying through the retail, requires proof for discount.

Actually I deduct the VAT, so I am paying netto, due to the purchase for my business. In Poland it's 23% so pretty nice decrease.

Not too quick, I'm still in for a 2-3 wait. Its a bummer because the max config is in stock in some stores. I just can't stomach the +300 they want for a marginally upgraded CPU.

At least you have some in stores. For now here in Poland, can get only base nTB models and 13" with TB - also base.
The 15" are available to order. That's a bummer!

You can make the order from edu-store and wait, but before your credit card is charged and the package is shipped, you have to proove that you are eligible to edu-discount and you have sent them a proof (e.g. a photo of your valid student/teacher card with your name on it).

I see that most of you upgraded to 2.7GHz. Is it really such a big difference from the 2.6GHz?

Ordered 14/11

13" TouchBar Macbook Pro 2.9GHz i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD.

Pick up in store on 29/12, with absolutely no movement on my order as of yet...

It sort of bums me out to see that people who ordered 2 weeks after me are getting their MBP within the same window, or maybe even earlier :(
