Many semiconductor companies offer free sample chips or other electronics products that they produce and send them to your home for free (without even post fees). This is a marketing technique. When someone orders some sample chips from them and designs his circuit with it, then in the commercial product they will use their chip again. Having this in mind they know that at the end they are well-off. Bellow is a list of companies that send free samples chips with online order:

The first four semiconductor companies are the best in sending chip samples.
If you know more companies that offers samples post their site.
Tips:
When you visit a company’s site usually you don’t find the samples order page very easily.
You must search and navigate thought their products and find a “samples order” button.
Always put your name, address etc clearly
Not all products can be ordered as samples
:-\ Every company has its own web design (some are more complex than other) so don’t give up with the first look. Make a good navigation.
