We are other end users like you with zero access to Apple's sales data. Apple does not respond here.


Did you buy directly from Apple or through a reseller? If directly from Apple (walk-store or Apple Online Store):

Any email directly from Apple about the sale will have a section at the botom labeled, "Questions." That hagive you way to inquire about the order.


If you bought through any reseller, you must work with them.


Is it possible your student status does not meet Apple Terms and Conditions?

We cannot know the reason your payment was declined. Start over again using a different form of payment. It may or may not have anything to do with an educational discount.


Shop for K-12 or Shop for College as appropriate.
