What actually happens when you buy likes or followers? We looked at our own orders from the past year: 13,495 orders from 5,366 customers, in four languages. Below you can read how quickly delivery starts and finishes, which packages people choose, how often something goes wrong and how we measured it all.
The numbers at a glance
- Every order starts within 10 minutes. It usually goes to our supplier within a few seconds of your payment.
- Likes and views are often complete within an hour. For Instagram likes that was true of 97% of orders, for TikTok views 73%.
- Followers take longer. Half of the TikTok follower orders were complete within 7 hours, two in three within a day.
- 98.3% is delivered in full. Of all orders, 0.26% were refunded.
- One in three customers ordered more than once in the past year.
- Almost 9 in 10 orders are placed on a phone, and the busiest time is between 20:00 and 22:00.
How quickly does delivery start?
After you pay, our system passes your order on to the supplier automatically. Nobody has to handle it by hand in between. Over the past three months that happened within 10 minutes for all 5,087 orders, and usually within ten seconds. Whether you order at three in the morning or on a Sunday afternoon, delivery starts straight away.
How long until everything has arrived?
That depends on the product. Likes and views on a single post or video are usually done quickly. Followers and YouTube views come in gradually, and that is on purpose: an account that gains thousands of followers in a few minutes stands out to the platform.

Measured on 5,087 orders from 11 June to 22 September 2026: the time between passing the order to the supplier and the notice that delivery is complete. Some of the slowest times are longer than the actual delivery: if we check or top up an order later on, that time is counted as well.
Each product page shows the expected delivery time for that product, calculated from recent orders. Large packages take longer than small ones. If your order is still not complete after 24 hours, send us your order number through the live chat.
Which packages do people choose?
Most customers buy small amounts. That matches what we recommend ourselves: order in steps, and in proportion to the size of your account.
- TikTok likes: 25 likes (34% of orders), 50 likes (25%) and 100 likes (23%). Together that is 82%.
- Instagram likes: 50 likes (41%), 100 likes (25%) and 200 likes (15%).
- Instagram followers: 100 followers (23%), 1,000 followers (17%) and 500 followers (14%).
- TikTok followers: 100 followers (18%), 25 followers (15%) and 1,000 followers (13%).
- YouTube views: 100 views (34%), 250 views (22%) and 500 views (21%).
How often does something go wrong?
Of the 5,087 orders from the past three months, 98.3% were delivered in full. For 0.7%, delivery did not go as it should, usually because the profile was set to private or the link was wrong. Those customers received an email from us to sort it out. The rest were still running at the time we measured.
Over the whole year, 0.26% of all orders were refunded: 1 in 385. We do not measure per order how much drops off after delivery, because refills are handled through the live chat. In our experience, usually 10 to 20 percent drops off, mostly in the first week, and we refill that free of charge within 90 days.
Who orders?
- Where from: 85% of orders come from the Netherlands, 11.6% from Belgium.
- On what: 88.6% order on a phone, 10.5% on a computer.
- How they pay: 78% with iDEAL, 6.7% with Klarna, 5.3% by credit card. That reflects where most of our customers live: iDEAL is the usual way to pay online in the Netherlands, and in Belgium people mostly pay with KBC/CBC or Belfius.
- When: the busiest time is the evening between 20:00 and 22:00 (Dutch time), the quietest between 3:00 and 6:00. Across the week, every day is about equally busy.
Do customers come back?
One in three customers (34%) ordered more than once in the past year. For likes and views it is higher, around 35 to 40%: people who buy likes for one post often do the same for the next. For followers it is 17 to 18%. Those are usually bought once, to give an account a base to build on.
How we measured this
- Orders: all orders from 22 September 2025 to 22 September 2026 in the site’s four languages, added up per product.
- Delivery times: from the system that sends our orders to the supplier and tracks their status, from 11 June to 22 September 2026. We do not use older data, because a technical update in June overwrote the timestamps of older orders.
- Returning customers: counted by email address, without looking at names or any other details.
- What we do not measure: how much drops off after delivery, and what your order does for your reach. That last part is up to the platform.
Questions we often get
Do you need my password?
No. Your username or the link to your post or video is enough. We never ask for your password or for access to your account.
Can anyone see that I bought likes or followers?
No, there is no notification or label that shows it. An account with lots of followers and few reactions does stand out sooner, though. So grow in steps, and keep your follower count in line with the likes and comments you get.
Do the likes and followers stay?
Mostly, yes, but part of them often drops off: in our experience 10 to 20 percent, mostly in the first week. We refill that free of charge within 90 days. The platforms do not allow buying in their terms and can remove part of it.
What if my order is still not complete after a day?
First check that your profile or post is public and that your username has not changed. If that is all fine, send us your order number through the live chat or by email. You can also check your order status yourself.
Is buying likes or followers legal?
For your own account, yes. For businesses and influencers, stricter rules have applied in the EU since 28 May 2022. Read is buying likes or followers legal?
