Sorry if I was off with you but I did find your post a little condescending e.g. "the de facto method [of getting a product] is to purchase them". My initial surprise was because in my old job I would request samples pretty much every week - half of the companies we contacted said 'we don't think our products are suitable for your business' or something like that, and the rest would always insist on us sending the sample back unless we made an order. I've never heard of anyone actually getting something for free, ever.
