Yes, we buy a lot of parts from them for doing prototypes. They ship from the states, but we've never had any problems. Like the other poster said, you can request their catalog too which is good for inspiration sometimes. Mouser is another place that has a gigantic catalog. If Digi-Key doesn't carry it, Mouser probably will.
Now... if you don't want to pay, go to the manufacturers website and request samples. You'll likely be able to get 2 or so of each type of part. If you're not an engineer or employed, just make up something.
