aneak Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 You won't believe this story... :oAs I have written before, I have ordered samples from some companies in order to find the best one, which is of course TI (best record : TWO days from Order to Delivery, from US to Greece). :oBut today I received something which I never ordered (and still don't know if I CAN order at all) : a five kilo box full with data books, FREE of charge, right into my door ! :o :o :oTHANKSI know you won't believe me, so I attach a photo with all the stuff laid on to my floor ! ;)So, please pick the right answer to the question "why ?"a. This was all a delivery mistake and I am just the lucky guy.b. A hacker log into my account, ordered all this and paid for it !c. TI has a LOT of money to give around and they just don't care !d. They have read my past thread about the qualifications and they decided to give me a gift.For your information, a local electronics store sells ONE of those data books for over 30 euros and even more !WOW ! :oPLEASE IF YOU CAN WRITE MORE DETAILS FOR THIS DATA SHEETS.

curio_enthu Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 Hey guys.I was just wondering if anybody on these forums have received an ATMEL sample to an Australian residence. I live in Australia and I am reluctant to order some as it may be delivered with some kind of cost or COD. Thanks for any help you can provide,Regards Quote
MP Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 You might contact Don at www.dontronics.com to see how he gets them.MP Quote
Djipe Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 Hello,Do anybody know where I could find motors and gears for samples ? :PDjipe Quote
MP Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 There is a company named "small parts" in the US that gives (or used to give) free samples of small gears, etc. For motors, I would also like to know where to get free samples. I have not heard of it.MP Quote
Djipe Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 I did not reach to find this company on the internet.Could youi give me more information please about this company ? Quote
Guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 Has anybody ordered samples from fairchild semiconductors?Whenever i try to place an order they do not accept it saying that i cannot place an order. Quote
Djipe Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Has anybody ordered samples from fairchild semiconductors?Whenever i try to place an order they do not accept it saying that i cannot place an order.I did :)But do not receive all parts requested. Some product are never sent :-\I'm surprised with your problem.May be I can suggest you to specify only one reference per request.Did your referencement completely ?Did you fill you login and password ?Could I know the reference of the product ? Quote
Guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 I get this message when i even before i place an order. I enter my password and user name correctly. Once i click the samples option,i get this message.Is this due to the place where i live and hence i cannot recive them?ORIs this since i have mentioned i am a student in my registration form?Apart from T.I. which other is the best.I have placed my order of MAXIM and NATIONAL 2 months ago and havent recived them.

MP Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 siddharth, I am not sure if their policy sends samples to students. You might want to give yourself a business name and try again to see if there is a difference. Just a suggestion.MP Quote
kumaran Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 mixos, Special thanks for you for the info. I just received the chips that I ordered 3 days ago from TI without any fee to pay. ;D Nice packaging. Unbelievable. :o Quote
Guest Kasamiko Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 NOBODY BEATS T.I. !!!!I LOVE T. I. !!! ;D ;DYou request, they send, NO question, NO obligation!! Quote
JFDuval Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Hi!Where can I order samples from Small Parts? Need I to send them a mail? Quote
Djipe Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Hello,With FAIRCHILD, I do not recieve all samples requested.They always send me back an e-mail : "samples will be shippe".But I never reciev it :-\And some some time, I recieve some products but not all.Do you know why ?Djipe Quote
quantum Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Would any know of a free Basic Stamp-2 microcontroller? Or any microcontroller for a robot. Quote
JFDuval Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Hi Djipe!What e-mail did you use? If it's your hotmail account, then forget your parts. You need a most 'commercial' adress and a suitable cie name. Notice that Fairchild is quite long to send parts and the usually send only some of the ordered parts. Quote
wasssup1990 Posted August 5, 2004 Report Posted August 5, 2004 Has anyone orderd some sample parts, and when they show up you need to pay some C.O.D. Cost on delivery. Quote
PeterG Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 How come that Sensirion is in that list? They sell expensive sensors only of which you can't order samples. Would be too nice to be true. Quote
cray Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 Problem is with samples for Poland.It concerns it samples: Ti, National Semi NSC. Quote
