You must be aware of the redemption period. Depending on the TLD, there's a specific period after the domain expiration where the domain can be renewed only from the original registrant.

You said the domain is expiring the 30th of this month. I suggest you to wait at least the 1st of the next month to check whether the domain was renewed or not. Chances are the domain will be renewed and you paid a backorder service for nothing.

If, and only if, the domain was not renewed during the redemption period, you can start thinking about a backorder service to register the domain when it becomes available.
