I bought an album off audiolunchbox and none of the downloads would work after I paid. To confirm this wasn't a problem I was just having I used different pcs, from different locations using a mix of firefox and IE browsers.
ReplyDeleteI contacted them 3 times and never got any response.
I can only come to the conclusion that Audiolunchbox is a scam of some sort.. I would be very very cautious putting ANY money in to audiolunchbox - i recommend you go to a larger well known provider instead of these cowboys.
