When possible, I have the client pay the tuner directly. If the studio we're working in insists on handling the transaction or marks up, I try to negotiate for zero or minimal mark up, since we'll be leaving them with a pretty well tuned piano when we're done.

Not that I can recall. Most are savvy enough about the instrument that they understand or share my (and the producer's) feeling that daily tunings are important in piano-centric tracking sessions, and they "get" that this will cost something.
