I have to agree with you there, Maxim have defintely got their sample system sorted. Normally if I ring up a company and ask for samples / help etc they as good as put the phone down. This is because I am a student and so will not be ordering large quantites of the product. Maxim makes no discrimination and sent me full paper catalogs for free, unusal these days. > Of course Maxim have, in my experience, the most fantastic > sample request and supply system. Just order them on their > web page and a few days later they are in your mailbox, even > if you are Down Under (Australia).
