You won't believe this story... :o

As 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). :o

But 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 :o




THANKS
I 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 ! :o



PLEASE IF YOU CAN WRITE MORE DETAILS FOR THIS DATA SHEETS.

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

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.

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 ?

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?
OR
Is 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.

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.

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 ?

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.
