Many manufacturers have sample request forms on their websites, that would be the best place to check.

Only some of them do!, MicroChip quite happily provide samples (although some countries have problems due to past abuse of the service).
 
Microchip, Maxim and TI have been known to be the best in giving samples. but lately Microchip has changed their policy and they dont give samples to people who do not belong to a company. the best of all is TI.

Then make one up!.

"Monkeytree Electronics" sounds quite convincing 8)
 
Company Names are Not Really a Problem.

Just Make one up.

It is Extremely Unlikely that the can or would check on it anyway.

A lot of companies are a "Sole Proprietorship", such as my company.
Although "G.L. Chemelec" is my Registered company name, they wouldn't be able to check that out very easily.

speaking of company names, a strange thing happened to me. when i filled out the form at the microchip website i didnt give any company name. but then after my second order my profile changed and somehow my company name became Goodrich Corporation. after that all the samples i got had Goodrich Corporation written on the sticker.

but from what i know it isnt just the company name. the microchip samples site has the following message written on the first page


so you have to have a valid bussiness or university account. but i have heard from some people that microchip can be fooled by some not-so-popular free email services.

after the policy change i havent ordered anything from microchip. has anyone had success???

No, you just have to have a 'proper' email address, not a 'toy' web one, many places won't accept yahoo or hotmail addresses, and for good reason!.
