If ACH is used as the payment option, there is an ACH processing fee of 1% when the ACH payment is completed during checkout. Other than that, no, we do not have any hidden fees or charges.
- How/when/where do I find out who will escort me?
There are several options and places to find out who will defend you:
1. Go to My Account and click on Orders and there you will find updates on the person escorting you on the specified day and time. If guest checkout was used and an account wasn't created, orders with bodyguard details can be viewed through the email you've provided during checkout.
2. When an customer places an order, their order status is automatically updated via SMS text message (Only if the protectee has filled out the phone field and checked for updates on the checkout page) and will receive the bodyguard’s ETA (estimated time of arrival) with name and photo ID.
3. Go to https://teamup.com/kstmx7n1vcpy1tqtp3 and on the calendar, find your color-coded town/state/region from the Calendar’s panel on the left-hand side; then click on the event date under your name, where you will see the bodyguard’s name and photo assigned to guard you. If your privacy is a concern, please let us know by contacting us at help@iguard247.com with a valid email address with your order id# and event details (name, date/time, etc.). Once we receive your email, we will then keep your details off the calendar and reply back with the bodyguard’s name, photo and escort date/time for confirmation.
