Whenever my client needs something, I go buy it, install it, and then bill them for it. Never a complaint - they trust and expect me to provide the service and equipment they need. If it is above a certain dollar amount, I say "I'm going to purchase this for you because", wait a day, and if they haven't replied I go ahead and do it. YMMV.
