I received my sample today. I took only 4 days to arrive to Greece!!!
I never got any sample from a local distributor. They think that you
must first order (or give a promise to order) some billions of pieces
to be granted the right to take one sample.
The only drawback, is that i only received only the 2138. I already
bought some of them. I did not received the 2148 i requested. Do
anyone knows why? 
Thank you Phillips.
