Always the best way to buy. There was a short time period where they required credentials, but now it's fair game for all.
If they don't ask for credentials, that is on Apple. However, if people take advantage of this and ruin it for people who are actually in school, that is really sad. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

I mean, to be fair, Apple's return policy is only 14 days: https://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund
The OP was talking about the refund timeframe, not the return window, I believe.
