No, we will never process the payment until the order has been completed. When you initially book your video message, a hold for the total amount is placed on your account. This is only processed and authorised once the celebrity has completed the order. If it is not completed for any reason, your money will be released back to you.
You can choose a package based on what you are after.
Shout-out: If you want the talent to give you or someone else a shout-out and the video is for personal use (including as a gift for someone) then you should select the ‘shout out’ package.
Performance package: If you want the talent to carry out a performance, for example, to sing a particular song, and it is still for personal use, then please select the ‘performance’ package.
Business shout-out: If you are a business and would like either of the above, for an endorsement or congratulate an employee then select either the ‘business shout out’ or ‘business performance’ package.
Thrillz live: Select this package to meet your favourite celebrity in real life or virtually via Zoom for up to 20 minutes.
