If anything you'd think that they'd send samples more to consultants and 
small companies than to the large companies.  Large companies shell out 
hundreds of thousands on new product development, so saving $50 by getting 
some free samples isn't a concern.  However to an individual saving $50 may 
be a big deal.  I know that Maxim sends out samples to anyone who asks next 
day delivery (ok, that's a little crazy), yet Coilcraft wouldn't send me 
samples personally, but when I had a colleague at work ask and had it 
shipped to work, they sent it without hesitation.  In any case Philips sent 
me the samples I asked for, it took 2 weeks but I got them.
