I bought a couple of HB25B's from Stan, and also ordered 4 sets of his 
mechanically-galvanized tower hardware for Rohn 25. Stan placed the 
hardware in a small cardboard box and taped it to the HB25Bs. Hardware 
was maybe $7.00 of the order.

Somehow, the gorilla'a at UPS managed to whang the brackets hard enough 
to send the hardware through the end of the box -- breaking the strapping 
tape that held it closed. 

End result - two nice brackets, but no hardware.

Stan sent me another set. Since I knew it wasn't his fault, I sent him 
$7.00 for the replacement hardware. He paid for the shipping. 

That's the way to do business.
