This is how I get my free samples, it works, it looks like you have a corporate email. I tried it at PacTec and a few other places, let me know how it works at FairChildSemi. EDIT: According to Jongamer, this method WORKS at FairChildSemi!!
Step one:
Setup a .TK account with an "official" sounding address, remember this, it will be your "Company" name. Save it to a text file if needed. Just set the domain to refer to a site or if you don't have one, just set it to refer to www.google.com or something.
Step two:
Open up another window/tab and go to www.temporaryinbox.com and refresh the page until you get a short temporary email (the ones with "@put2.net" at the end are usually the shortest.) Remember this for later, or save in the textfile with your .TK address.
Step Three:
Go into the .TK email forwarding thing and make a virtual address, set the email name to you "Owner@someurl.tk" with someurl replaced with your "official" sounding domain name. And the "referred to" address to your temporary inbox email. It has to start with "Owner" for officialness.
Step Four:
Now register for your samples and go to www.temporaryinbox.com and paste your email (not the "Owner@someurl.tk" but the "@put2.net") one in the "Check my Inbox" box.
Now .TK email forwarding can be a little slow, so if it's not there right away, wait a few hours (up to eighteen) and try again.
Have fun with your samples,

This happened to me before I got my "corporate" email, they said "Due to low amount and the high demand of samples, we will only allow samples to be sent to people with valid corporate email addresses."Edutainment wrote:This isn't necessary with PacTec. I ordered enclosures from them just recently w/ my hotmail address.
In short, with any company that gives away samples, if they even get low on supply of samples with a high demand, they will only send them to poeple who will buy a lot once they get restocked.
