Couldn't find a firm answer on this, and usually I know about this sort of thing.

If you buy a Macbook with higher education discount IN-STORE do you get the 3 years extended warranty like you do if you buy it online?

Cheers

Any documentation to back that up? I thought it was a no, but I did call them and they said that it applies in store and online. Not sure if she knew what she was talking about though.

Indeed. That's what MacRumors suggests. Thought the person on the phone was incorrect.

I bought online and yet my warrant says it's just one year. I take it this is something that will update to 3 years within a few weeks?

Depends how long. I just had to phone up because mine hadn't updated (a year and a half later).

Yeh, someone said above, that it's around £50. Although online delivery is free, and dispatched within 24hrs.

Is the extra years of phone support worth it? Is it any good?

Also is it possible to collect in store when you ordered online? It would be Easier than waiting for a delivery

Depends what you need. I don't see me ever using it. A Google search usually fixes everything.

You can't "click & collect" (in the UK at least - I think you can in the US). Online shipping is usually super quick, and for laptops uses UPS (not sure about other items).
