Americord Reviews

Americord has a technology in which they are able to get more live cells compared to other banks and one of the associates explained this to me well. Setting up with Americord was pretty easy as the associate was able to provide me all the options. We were able to talk about what things would work and what kind of plan would work for us. It was very simple to understand and set it up. Also, the person who picked up the kit showed up on time and he checked out everything. Americord has met my expectations but I haven't followed up with them since then and they haven’t followed up with me after the package was delivered. The only time I received a call was when they said that they received the package.

My sister spoke to me about Americord and said that they did more testing than the other ones I've used. The person that I spoke with on the phone set everything up. He was very sweet, and he even gave me his track number which was really nice with any questions. I felt like I can call him with any questions, and they took care of everything. Someone from Americord came and picked it up. Overall, I had a fine experience and I would recommend them.

Americord was responsive to my questions, and it was easy to get a hold of them. They were always available and they were always checking on me. The kit was easy to follow. Then my husband called them and they picked it up right away. We were kept on the loop with my son’s cord blood processing. I want to make sure that in the event that my son needs it, then it is there available for him. We had a good experience overall. I was lucky enough to get a discount being a health care worker and the cost was quite reasonable for us.

I banked my kids' cord blood a year ago to protect their future. It can be used if there was any issue with the blood or any type of a disease. And in the future, there might be a new medicine or a cure using it. I subscribed with Americord and I had a good experience with them. The courier was timely and the package was easy to read and understand.

We are happy to have an option to take some measure of protection for our daughter against serious illnesses that she might end up having and decided to bank her cord blood. Americord's price made us pick them over other cord blood banks and it met our expectations. My husband coordinated everything with them but there was a little bit of confusion with their courier and I think he was a third party. He seems to not fully understand the protocol when came to the hospital to pick the cord blood up. Otherwise, everybody that we worked with directly through Americord seemed very good and helpful. Our experience was seamless and it seems worth our time and money if we run into the circumstances where it would be beneficial for us.

Americord offered us to pay them a lump sum for all of the 20 years and not have to pay a fee. Banking the baby's cord blood is a preventive precaution. It may not be super useful today, but I don't know what's going to come up after three or five years. People are going to find out newer ways to use this and I would not want to be in a place where there is treatment available but I just don’t have the resource.

We started researching about cord blood banking before we even got pregnant so we knew the benefits and the possibilities of having this tool could open in the future. If something goes wrong with the baby, we wanted to be safe and the benefits in the future are tremendous. The cost at Americord was better, plus the reviews and the experience other people have put online were much different. When we signed up, they were really on the ball and they followed up with us. The cord specialist was very attentive. He gave us our space when we wanted to look at other companies. He was also always available to answer questions all throughout the day that we got our kit and he was great throughout the way.

Americord offered more than other cord banks and also seemed the most appealing out of all of them. Their cord blood specialist was wonderful, very helpful and got everything resolved very quickly. I was on the fence if I should bank my baby's cord blood but I figured it was like a life insurance policy. Then it was unknown when I was going to go the hospital since I was on bed rest, yet within 24-48 hours I got the package on my doorstep. Overall, Americord has met all my expectations and everything has been positive so far.

I had my last child’s cord blood banked since there could be health benefits for the child, for the siblings, and for myself. Also, since it was already our last child and my other children were not banked. I did some research and found that Americord was the most reasonable. It was a one-time fee for 18 years and they would bank all three pieces, the placenta, baby's cord, and tissue. And, the kit would be shipped international for free going back to them. Even more, the person I spoke with was really informative, knowledgeable, positive, accommodating, and has timely response. But the pick up for the kit did not go as planned. The carrier came to the hospital and he needed a sticker or label. The label was missing from the original box and even though Americord made it right, it took a lot longer than anticipated. Other than that, I had a great experience with them.

I liked the attention that Americord gave me. They were very kind, really down to earth and very approachable. I liked the accessibility to pay in part as well. It also helped me too. It was an amazing and fantastic experience. Everything was done very smoothly that I didn't even have to worry about anything. The explanation of when did we have to call, when they came and pick up the stuff was just simple. So far, I'm using just the banking and it is a great benefit. We did this to protect my daughter, to make sure I have a possible way to help her and assist her. I was trying to make a decision that could change her future somehow. If other people are wondering something about Americord, they should just do it. And hopefully, they can even do the whole package because I had to do a partial package. But if I could do all of it, I will.

I spoke to lengths with different companies and a lot of them pulled the strings and tried to make emotional blackmail so I was a bit put off. But with Americord, the gentleman who I dealt with wasn't pushy. He left me to make up my mind and let me come back to him rather than kept calling me, and he was also knowledgeable. My wife was really keen to bank our baby's cord blood but I was ignorant about it and didn't want to be heavily sold to it as well, so Americord was a nice balance. They gave me all the information I needed. Also, they have a unique way to store and they’re really well priced in the market. Everything was stored fine, and we would be paying for 15 months. I had a good experience with them overall.

Banking my baby's cord is like an insurance policy and I signed up with Americord for that over a year ago. I like their price and everything's been fine. If people want to do it, they should try it.

We did some research and Americord was the best option for us financially. We're preparing for the future in case something happens and we need our baby's cord blood. Every time I've called them, they've been very helpful and answered every question. My husband dealt with the carrier and it was also good.

Among the nationally recognized cord blood banks, Americord gave me the best offer. We also researched online and the online reviews were good for them. We got a very good response when we called to inquire about their services. There was also a discount if we made a full payment and it came with a 20-year prepaid plan. The specialists were really good. Whoever provided the on-call service was really prompt. We contacted a couple of days in advance, but we got the kit quickly and we were able to turn it over. The information inside the kit was also very detailed.

As a grandmother I could not think of a better gift for my first grandchild. Americord made the experience so easy. The staff was helpful, kind and knowledgeable. The courier pick up was quick and easy. My daughter appreciated the white glove service. She received a follow-call within 48 hours of collection from the client services team confirming that my granddaughter's stem cells had been safely stored. I highly recommend Americord.

Americord's prices were competitive. Their reps seemed knowledgeable and nice. They explained everything to me and made it easy to understand. Their service was what I was looking for and for what I was trying and am doing, the value definitely was great. They texted me when they picked the kit off and they had come right away. I also appreciated the text message because that was a lot easier than answering the phone at that time. The process was simple and easy, and it was a good experience overall.

Americord was easy to use and there was a good amount of information on the website. I also liked the one-time payment rather than paying yearly. When I called the 1-800 number, the interaction I had with their cord blood specialist was fine and then, the process went smooth. The courier was also good. We called them and they were at the hospital fairly quick and waiting. Banking our baby's cord blood gave us more peace of mind. Everything went well and I have given their information off to other friends and family.

With all things happening, we wanted to be on the safer side. We wanted to protect our baby. I was comparing Americord at that time and decided on them due to their location and pricing. Their rep explained all the stuff and he responded in a timely manner. We had a little glitch at the hospital when they took all the collections but didn't zip it up. The delivery guy, though, cross-checked if everything is intact and he found that it was not zipped, so he zipped it. The courier who picked it up came on time like what they promised and we got a notification when they would come. It went as planned and whatever I wanted, I got. Everything went smoothly from getting the cord until cutting and confirming and including payments. All is good with Americord.

I spoke with someone from Americord and they had a good plan with good payment options. Plus, it was a simple and easy process. The rep I talked to was great. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Eight months ago, when my daughter was born, we didn't want the placenta but we wanted the cord blood. So we were trying to figure out exactly how we needed to do this thing. They were very responsive and answered all of my questions. They knew what they were doing which helped relieve a lot of stress at that point in the process.

I wanted to have some kind of insurance for my baby. My friend's son had a disease and they cannot find the match. She's a doctor and she told me to save cord blood. I also did a research and it's a safe way to save it right now. Also, it's a personal decision that I've taken. Americord's price is cheaper than other blood banks and also, they also take the one-time price and I don't pay every year. The rep I spoke with was nice and she sent everything I needed. My husband called and somebody came and picked up the cord blood. I'm very satisfied with Americord. But I hope I would never have to use it.

Banking my baby’s cord blood felt like it was a good idea. It may be my last child and my last chance to do it. It’s a protection against diseases or conditions in the future. Americord talked me through everything and they gave me their direct number, even their personal cell phone number to call. I hired them in a matter of weeks before I was having my son, so it was all a fast process. They made sure that they were available and I felt more comfortable with them. They have exceeded my expectations and it was a positive experience all around.

I did research and, as far as the pricing and the length of time, Americord was really the best option for our family. It has met my expectations and it’s very valuable. I decided to bank my baby’s cord blood because I see it as like an insurance because you never know. I feel like it’s protection for all of us and also, in the hopes that if my fiancé or I ever need it, one of us would be able to benefit from it as well. My cord blood was readily available and, even though I did everything last minute, they accommodated me very well. They overnighted everything to me the day before and I spoke to them while I was on my way to the hospital. It’s very convenient and they were pretty good, and the courier who picked up the kit was fine. They came right to the hospital and I had my fiancé run it down to them and everything worked out. My experience with Americord was a seamless transaction.

Americord was offering a $1,000 off for the Black Friday sale. The hard part at the beginning was I did an inquiry through the website. My husband and I shared an email address and I have another email address. The one that we chose to go with wasn't synced up between the person who was trying to sell me from the other email address. I was getting contacted by multiple people so that was kind of frustrating, but that was of my own doing. Once we got things moving though, I had no problems whatsoever. We were sitting on the fence about the cost for a while and I decided to pull the trigger. I have multiple sclerosis so purchasing this was pretty important to me. I might pass it to my son, and there might be some sort of miracle cure out there the time he or I would potentially need it.

My experience with Americord was mostly positive. We had done it with our first baby and we figured that if there was a possibility that it’d be used, we might as well do it. And we could afford it. I liked how Americord offered the pay upfront option rather than the monthly option. However, we ended up being charged by our doctor to collect it. When I spoke to Americord, they said that they would reimburse that, and that was a bit of a process. I had to follow up probably three times in order for them to do it. So that was the main issue. But everyone I spoke to was nice.

Americord had the best information about the cord blood banking, stem cell banking for baby as well as stem cell banking for mom. That provides a better exact match to mom. They also had a great online presence and how they did their information than all of the other companies, so I felt comforted and confident. When I signed up, I got a message from them congratulating me. As I got closer to the due date, I received positive encouragement from them. They also sent me a message to keep the kit at room temperature. I was pregnant throughout the winter and if they hadn’t sent that additional text message, we were going to keep the kit in the car, which would have made the whole kit void.

We're the kind of people who probably should get into banking our baby's cord blood, just in case. We learned about it and we called the folks but we were too close to the actual pregnancy and we couldn’t find any public banks in the area that would accept us on such short notice. I had chosen out of all the possible banks and I couldn’t work with them. That’s why we went with a private bank and chose Americord.

My baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and he needs fetal myelomeningocele repair. His doctors were doing experimental work with cord tissue for the spine so I figured it would be smarter to save spinal cord tissues. I did it with Americord because their representative was able to answer my questions better than other people that I’ve spoken to. But I was unable to store cord blood. When I sent it in, they told me that it wasn't a viable amount. Overall, my experience was pretty simple and fairly easy. I would recommend them.

We have a mixed race child and it would be hard to find a Polish-Kenyan match so we decided to bank his cord blood. We went with Americord because of the placental and tissue preservation for the actual cord. The week before we decided to pull the trigger on it, there was a study that was published that talked about cloning an entire embryo from two sources. The sources were the placenta and actual cord tissue. So, between those two structures, you have all the building blocks you need to make an entire embryo.

We thought to keep our baby’s cord blood because nowadays anything can happen to anyone at any time. I told the Americord representative that I’ll give the cord tissue and cord blood and the doctor tagged it and put it inside the kit. When the person came I gave the kit to that person so I believe that both of cord tissue and blood are inside. When I called them I was told that they only found cord blood and not cord tissue. At that point it has been a week so even if I talked to my doctor it would be no help. But their cost is good compared to others. The cord blood specialist is very supportive and whenever I called he has helped me and I will give Americord a good recommendation. We're in the initial stage now and hopefully it will work for us if needed.

With the research nowadays, more and more studies are showing that cord blood is beneficial because you'll never know if something would happen with the baby. So, we’d rather be safe than sorry. Americord offered a placenta which a lot of companies don’t do and they were able to answer all my questions so I decided to bank our baby’s cord with them. However, there was a little hiccup during the pick up because first, they said that it needs to be picked up right away. But then they said within 24 hours. So, it was picked up early in the morning. Nevertheless, our experience was easy, painless and I would recommend it to all my friends.

This was our second child and we did not bank the cord blood for the first one so we thought of going ahead with it. I asked some of my friends and my doctor which companies are good and they suggested some names and then among them, Americord was the one who gave us a good price to go with. They sent the package to us right on time and then we handed it over to the hospital staff for the cord blood collection. Once they did it, somebody from Americord came to the hospital, collected the package and then took it with them. Once we were released from the hospital, we registered the baby's name and gathered all his details, then Americord said everything was good to go. Their service was very good and they have answered all of the questions.

I've gone through a few reviews online and I could see there were good reviews for Americord so I went with them. They explained everything but I still have a couple of other doubts which I'm going to clarify with them. I spoke to their customer care and then we set the process up. I was driving and I got the credit card number. It was super simple. Everything was perfect.

When I asked about banking my baby’s cord blood, my doctor suggested that it would be a good idea and I decided on doing it like a better safe than sorry type of deal. I did some research online and Americord reached out. It was crunch time and everything was done with one phone call. It was a good experience overall. The cord blood specialist was very knowledgeable and the courier did his job to pick the kit up. Americord was very polite and super helpful when I needed them.

I have diabetes so I wanted to bank my baby's cord blood in case we needed it. We went with Americord since they were reviewed well on the internet. All they had to do was make sure that we were able to get everything to them and we did that. Their reps were easy to work with. They were there the day of the birth and were very responsive. The courier picked up the kit within an hour or two and I haven't had to follow up with them. Their people over the phone were very helpful, too. The real test would be if we ever needed the cord blood, and hopefully, it'll be there. But as of now, I'm perfectly satisfied with Americord.

We used Americord on our first daughter and there weren't as many choices back then. We found them user-friendly and easy to use. We also wanted to pay the entire sum in one time rather than having a monthly payment, and they were one of the only ones at that time that offered that. Our experience with their rep was excellent. My husband first spoke to her over the computer and she was great. Dealing with their courier also went off without a hitch. When you're having a baby, the last thing you want to have to worry about is all the logistics of something else. It's worth every penny and more to have the opportunity to save your child’s life, so for us, banking our baby's core blood was a no-brainer. We would use Americord again.

I've used Americord twice for my children. What they do is as soon as you call them from the hospital that the stem cells have been extracted they immediately show up to come and pick it up. And then they call you back to tell you if it was successful and if they have enough to store. My biggest concern is if they have the proper safeguards so that they can prevent any unexpected loss of the stem cells. My eldest is three and a half so it's still a new experience and I worry about putting two different children at the same bank. But the actual experience is great and when more people start doing it maybe the prices will come down a little bit. I'm satisfied and as far as the service or the product I haven't had any issues.

Banking the baby's cord blood was a service that was offered to us when my sister and I were born. It would be helpful as there are some people in my family that had some of the ailments that cord blood could have helped them with and if anything comes up in the future, I'd like to be ready for it. When I did my research, I found that Americord had all I was looking for in a cord blood bank in terms of pricing, how long the cord blood could be held, and how much the cord blood could be used. They cover the basics in being able to circumvent illnesses in the future. There was one sales rep in particular that I dealt with. I had two quick conversations with her and she was knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. So far, it has been pleasurable with Americord and I haven't had any issues with them. I'm satisfied with the service and I would recommend them.

I know that stem cell research is getting far and that it has many benefits especially if my baby ends up with any kind of cancer, I wanted him to have a chance on it. Americord is working on other conditions as well so there’s a potential treatment in the future and I want to give my child that opportunity. Americord said that if the cord blood wasn’t proper and they couldn’t retrieve it, they weren’t going to charge me. I also felt there were no hidden fees in anything which was really nice and they were going to do the cord blood, the tissue, and the placenta. That was definitely something that I thought was a good thing. The whole process was seamless and I was happy with it. The cord blood specialist was great. Everything was good and easy and I’m glad I did it.

I chose Americord with my first daughter so I wanted to go ahead and keep everything the same. Their website was very informative and I liked what I read. They had good pricing and when I called, I received excellent customer service. Their specialist Jazz was great and amazing as well. She went through different options when I called trying to figure out if we could afford it at the time. I was able to think about it and she followed up with me. When I decided against it but changed my mind, she was very helpful and she said, “I’m so glad you’re going to do it now.” She literally answered me from home when she said, “Don't worry about it. I’ll take care of it”. My daughter was a planned C-section and we did this literally a week before she was born. So she went above and beyond.

I needed to store three things and Americord was supposed to seek the first one in 24 hours. However, they told me about it two days after giving birth so it was too late to pick it up. I was angry about it because it wasn’t explained properly in the beginning and I paid for it but Americord said they will deduct it for me and they did. Everything else was good and I would recommend them.

I was really not happy with the courier who was sent to pick up the cord blood. He showed up covered in dirt like he had been working construction for the day. They didn’t look like a courier service. They were filthy and I almost didn’t even give it to them because I was so uncomfortable thinking that they're who I’ve trusted with something so precious and then that's how they showed up. That was awful. My husband ended up on the phone with Americord and taking pictures of it, and it was really sketchy. I also wish we would have gotten a package in the mail afterwards to make the process feel complete rather than just an email.

Americord answered every question I had and sent me all the information I asked for before I went with them. They were easy to contact and if I left a message, they called me right back. They made things easy so we went with them. Also, I asked them about the whole process, how they pick up and how the blood is stored and everything went exactly as they said it would. Nothing was left out of the process and I didn’t feel like I was blindsided by anything. I also had a brief exchange with the courier and he was very pleasant, polite and he even congratulated me on my daughter.

We like the policy, the research and the information Americord has regarding stem cells. The pricing was competitive in terms of what everyone else did. The cord blood specialist was very attentive, thorough and detailed. There was great communication and as soon as we registered, we got our kit within two days. Also, the courier who picked up was quick and courteous. We’re satisfied and we got a lot more of the cells that we were expecting.

Americord was easy to work with, the consultants were friendly and explained things clearly, and the whole process simple. I would definitely suggest using Americord to my friends and we will use Americord with our next baby. I also like that payment is all upfront and you do not have to pay a yearly fee.

We have banked our baby’s cord blood with Americord because it helps me know the health insurance, and we may use it any time in the future. We chose them since their online reviews are better than others and the customer service was good. The whole process was very easy and the people are very friendly. I got an email saying the cord blood has been banked and it's all taken care of. But a little certificate or a hard copy of the certificate would really matter.

Very few banks have a cord tissue saving along with the blood and Americord is one of them. There’s a couple more banks that we know of but Americord is more affordable so we went with them. This is our first baby and we aren’t sure exactly what the cord blood is for and though we are spending a few thousand dollars up front, the specialist explained everything in detail why and what can be done with it. He’s knowledgeable and followed up with us on a timely fashion.

It's better safe than sorry and I never know what's going to happen so I researched a little bit before deciding to bank my baby's blood cord. It's like an insurance policy and I had the financial option to do it. But the birth was very close so I didn't have a lot of time to dig so much into it. I consulted with a friend, read a couple of articles online about it, and I decided to do it with Americord. I liked their price and the lady that I have talked to was very nice. She told me all the details and answered all my questions right away. Overall, I had a pretty good experience.

I was 39 having a baby. I kept going back and forth asking different people that have had babies, and they had different opinions. I researched the reviews and I liked Americord's price. Their rep that I dealt with was really nice and helpful. She called me back, kept harassing me but that was a good thing because I kept putting her off. I waited until the last minute and the rep said she could do overnight with me. Americord was the only one that would do that. Also, I was scared about any problems happening in the future so that made me finally do it. It's a good deal and it's simply one of those precautions just in case problems happen. She sent me and emailed me everything.

We have close family and friends whose young children died of cancer so we banked our baby's cord blood. If it's there then it could be a possibility to cure it. I like the financial plan of Americord and the length of the storage was longer than any other banks. The kit was easy. The doctor and the nurse went over it before I had the baby. And they knew what to do and they picked it up. And I got a confirmation email that it was received. Everything has been good.

We thought we'd give Americord a shot because they do placenta banking. We then banked our baby's cord, which we found affordable. Signing up was all good on me.

Americord's track record for having a higher cell count in the cord blood was attractive. It's also interesting that they store blood tissue and placenta, too. In addition, the guy that started the company was one of the principals that started the ViaCord and their technology is now 10 years old. He wanted to start a new entity that has all the latest and greatest so, we went with them to store my son's blood. He's now six and it gives us a peace of mind knowing that his blood is stored out there. Everything was packed by my doctor so, there were no issues with anything being spoiled and the courier came the next morning.

We had Americord bank my baby’s cord blood as a precaution. My doctor suggested it. It's like a life insurance if something goes wrong in the future. That was a last minute decision but Americord arranged everything on time. The cost was also very good. They were less expensive than others that we saw in the two days that we looked. And they did a pretty good job and met our needs. I'd refer them to others.

We had placenta banking. We've always wanted to do cord blood banking with my other two kids, but we didn't have the money till this time. Hopefully, we won't ever have to use it but it's for peace of mind. It was late at night when we delivered the kit, so the courier picked it up the next day and my husband handled that. Our experience with Americord's cord blood specialist is smooth. The only other thing that I really like about Americord was that we paid upfront and we don't have to pay annual fees and think about it after, it's all taken care of. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Americord's price options are very good. The payment is monthly and we didn't need to pay for one big fee prior to taking the service. We liked it mostly because of that and the 20 years of storage is good, too. The people who picked up the kit came on time so we are good. The value of using Americord has met our expectations. Our baby's cord blood can cure so many diseases not only for him but also for any of our family.

I'm advanced maternal age and decided to bank the baby's cord blood to be on the safe side, in case I needed it. Since Americord also had the placenta banking which others didn't, we decided to use them. Another reason to go for Americord is one of my cousins who used it had a good experience with them. It's also good that they're online. We got the right support. Everything was prompt and when we called up, there was a line to find out what we are supposed to be doing. They came and picked up everything and it's been great so far.

A friend of mine suggested Americord so I looked into prices and it looked really good for me. It was reasonable and cheaper than the others. Their specialists were very knowledgeable. They did not even ask any questions regarding how to do the process so they knew everything of what they were doing. The courier who picked up my kit came on the next day morning so that was good. So far, we’re very satisfied with Americord.

I banked my baby’s cord blood for personal reasons especially on health to save the life of my child and my husband if needed. I chose Americord because they ran differently than some other companies and had different ways of doing things. I didn’t have to pay a monthly fee and I could pay one lump sum. I also had a great experience with the cord blood specialist. They didn’t waste my time and told me everything I needed to hear. It's been a good experience overall.

We figured banking the placenta was a big expense up front but if it could be helpful in the future in case we'd need it and if we didn't make that decision now, we would regret it. We went with Americord and their reps were very friendly and helpful. They did what they could to help us reduce the price so we were very pleased.

Our friends banked their baby's cord blood and they recommended it. There could also be possible things in the future that the cord blood can correct for. Americord had the best price and their specialists were super informative, polite, and not pushy. It was good that they called back later because we bought the service and then I totally forgot about it. Then they called us again just before the due date and helped us out. They reminded us to bring the cord blood to the hospital.

I saw cord blood banking on Americord's app and went for it. I gave them a call to set up a payment plan. I chose them after reading a lot about it. They ended up taking the samples relatively quickly. The customer service people are really nice and they were better than what my friend had.

If there’s something that goes wrong or there's a disease that can’t be cured, we have our baby's cord blood banked. Americord was the most reasonably priced and we got an excellent service from them. They're easy to use tool. I had a good experience with the carrier who picked up the kit, as well as with the cord blood specialist and I would recommend him. They notified us about things and everything just went smoothly like it was supposed to go.

Americord banks a couple of things including the cord blood and something else that was geared towards helping the moms. And nobody else was doing that, which was what made me choose them. I’m happy that I chose to bank everything because this is my last child. And I didn’t do it with my other two children. It could help everyone and I hope we should never have to use it but knowing that it’s there gives me peace of mind. Over the phone, the Americord rep was very nice. And we’ve also emailed frequently before that. He made me feel comfortable in the process and really walked me through and let me know that if I had any questions I could contact them anytime. Also, the person who picked up the kit was very quick.

For us, technology, knowledge, and trustworthiness were important. Cost also factored in, and in all the dimensions Americord ranked very high among the top 3 vendors we examined in detail. Staff were well educated and super helpful. We ended up investing in all 3 services they offer, also based on some helpful bundle pricing the firm offers. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience with Americord. All representatives were very helpful and always nice. They provide all instructions over the phone + you receive them with the kit. I delivered my boy at night and they picked up the package first thing in the morning and helped to complete the form. So, I would definitely recommend them. Great work guys! Keep it the same way!

We had done our research but hadn't decided on if we would store but we reached out the day before we were supposed to check in to have our little girl and Americord overnighted us the collection package along with everything we needed and clear instructions. We decided to go ahead and do it so we went over everything with the nurse when we arrived in the hospital and thankfully they had done it before so it was a pretty easy process. After our girl was born the doctor and nurses collected everything and we packaged it up and called to have it picked up. Shortly after a courier picked everything up and it was off to be stored.

I have no issues with Americord. I used them for banking purposes and it has met my expectation. The storage was already included with the price. I had a very good experience working with the blood cord specialist and the courier was prompt. But they should make their website in which you have an account with friendlier like being able to change payment options and those types of things.

We’ve been hearing about the new thing that once we save cord blood, it’ll change a lot of things in the future. This is gonna be our last chance so we decided to go ahead and save the cord blood. Americord was responsive so, we decided to go ahead and do it with them. We initially called them and they responded to give me all the options we have and how much it will cost. We decided on what options we would like to go pickup and once we received the kit, we had to take it to the hospital. We got things taken care of. It was really expensive compared to the other cord blood we had but they did a pretty good job.

I liked Americord's reputation and that they take double the amount of the blood. We also got recommendations for them from other people. I know from past experience with someone else that they are very reliable. I am 30 years old and when I was younger, a lot of these things were not available. Now, there is research and things have gone on, how it can save a life or help other family members. So, my main thing was at least I have a little bit of a security that it can help my family members and me if ever needed.

We got Americord for cord blood banking, so that in the future, if we need it, we can use it. They were very fast and on time. They sent the kit quickly and the overall experience was very good.

I did some research and Americord was recommended as a good one for cord blood banking. My husband called them and they seem okay. They provided the information that we need. I view it as a long term. So, we banked with our first baby, and this is the second one.

We decided to take our baby's cord blood as were concerned about the risk of leukemia in the family since my wife's sister had leukemia. Americord had more collection options available, besides the standard umbilical cord blood, than other companies. They also had a good pricing option and were able to deliver the kit very fast because our son was born a month early. We didn’t have a kit then but they were able to get it to us within an hour. The woman who I talked to on the phone was very good and helpful and was able to give us a good discount and payment terms. She sent the collection kit in an Uber from New York City to make it in time, so the experience was really good.

Americord was less expensive so I went with them. Also, I liked what the woman had suggested about saving other things aside from the cord blood. We decided to do the placenta as well. I was a high-risk patient and our doctor recommended that I bank my baby's cord blood. It was due to my family history and me having Crohn's disease. He said that there's been much success in that area and so, we decided to do it.

I thought of banking my baby's cord blood in the event that it could be of benefit for some major health problem in the future. I found Americord online and they seemed to be a newer company but professionally run and fairly priced. The cord blood specialist was very personable, and the courier who picked up the kit was great. We've had a good experience with Americord.

I spent $7000 and have nothing to show for it. Not even a certificate proving they still have my sample. I have a feeling I will have to sue to get my money back when I need something I banked and it has mysteriously disappeared.

We were at the OB-GYN's office for one of our first visits and I happened to pick up Americord's brochure and started looking at it. I shared it with my husband and he got really interested. He figured that technology and healthcare are moving so fast that it was not a bad idea to have something on hand. And so, we decided to bank our baby's cord blood.

Americord was one of the cheaper ones when I signed up. They gave me $500 off and I like the fact that I can never pay a yearly storage fee. My oldest son is on the autism spectrum and Americord had done recent autism research. Because of some of the positive results they have gotten, I went with the cord tissue too instead of just the cord blood. I don’t worry about my youngest son now, but you just never know. I would recommend Americord.

The research in cord blood and the possibilities in the future of using it for different things that our son might encounter are so vast. We felt we would lose the opportunity to try it. One only gets one chance to do it and our son can't do it when he's 14 so we felt that was a worthy insurance policy. There are a lot of banks out there. We looked into those other banks and Americord was the one that said, "If you pay us once, we'll never charge you again." We like that because we didn't want to be billed every year, though it also makes it a little more expensive than some of the other banks. But we're happy so far. The process was also easy. The cord blood specialist was very respectful and she answered all our questions.

We are in the medical field and we think that our baby's cord blood might be helpful in the future for certain diseases. The pickup was quick and the courier was right on time. And then we tried to reach out to see if there is anybody from Americord to come and take blood for us even if it's not part of the treatment because the nurse at the hospital refused to do that. But Americord didn't have anybody to come out. My husband is a physician so he was able to draw blood for me. Other than the blood drawing problem, everything was great.

I had my first child two years ago, and Americord had the best plan for our needs that time. I did it for the first one, and usually whatever I have for the first one is for the sibling, so I decided to go ahead and do my second child as well for the older sibling to be protected. The specialist was very helpful. And because they had all my information, he got everything set up in less than 20 minutes. He was perfect.

If I had any questions with anything, the people at Americord answered it. So far, I'd recommend them. I’ve done research and I know cord blood banking could be helpful. It's an extra precaution in case I need it. It’s my first baby, so I’m trying to do everything.

Ultimately we wanted our babies to have an option if they have an illness. And if we found out that it’s anything that’s blood-borne type of illness then it’s the sibling’s blood that can help. We banked our first daughter’s so we wanted to bank our second baby’s as well. So if it’s something that comes to that, we hope that it could help. A friend of mine recommended Americord to us. The cord blood specialist was friendly and knowledgeable. When we decided very late to do it for our second child, the specialist was really good at getting the kit to us. It was good before and after collecting the blood however, I had a bit of trouble afterwards with the followup. I got an email saying that the maternal blood was not a viable sample, and then they were going to send me another kit. They said they did but I never got it and nobody ever followed up on it. I’m assuming right now that that is not necessary, so I just let it be because I was busy.

They were upfront at Americord and they have the monthly payments later on. Everyone was very friendly too. We used Americord in 2013 and we had a good experience so we did it again in 2016. In both instances, the process was pretty easy. So far, it's been a good experience and hopefully, they keep an excellent customer service when we need them.

Americord's cord blood specialist was wonderful and the person I worked with was really easy-going. She was there to answer a lot of questions so I really enjoyed having her as the go-to person. My experience has been perfect so far, although I haven't had to collect my samples. It's been easy and I have peace of mind.

I'd rather pay for an actual physical health insurance in addition to a traditional one, so I decided to bank my baby's cord blood. To me, it's the best. And because of their pricing, I used Americord. My experience with their rep was great so I had no worries. I just had my baby, and I didn't know what was happening but everything was taken care of. Overall, my experience has been simple, easy and worry-free.

Americord was the first company I called and the lady who I spoke to was so helpful and wasn’t pushy. I was undecided then but she answered my questions, gave me some additional information and let me get off the phone. I found out that I needed to have a C-section earlier than my due date. So I called Wednesday and I was due to have the C-section on Monday. She was so helpful. I had tons of questions and she answered all of them. And whenever I was confused by that information she clarified it for me. I told her that I had to talk to my husband and I’d give her a call back. She took my credit card number then, that way we could just call and if we wanted it, everything was there.

I wanted to have the cord blood as a safety net in case our child had anything that was wrong with her later on so I used Americord. One of my close friend's daughters got cancer and I was researching it while I was pregnant that it's one of the cancers for which stem cells can be used for.

The Americord rep we've spoken to made our experience easy, really straightforward and we only spoke a couple of times. They answered all our questions and we felt confident moving forward. We're comfortable knowing that that blood is in storage if we need it and that we have the access to it. The only slightly negative experience I had during the process was the follow-up. It wasn’t as clearly communicated as I would have liked when our credit card was charged and what the next steps were when they received the blood and that everything was okay. We had to reach out proactively to make sure that they had everything they needed after we sent it in. We weren't updated and would have liked a little more prompt response from them.

My husband and I read as many reviews as we could and decided on Americord based on those we read online. At the very beginning, they had called several times and kept wanting information then when they sent the agreement, it wasn't full agreement and there was a misspelling on the name. We had to send it back then they resent it. There were a few snags and that prolonged the process making me feel tired dealing with it. But I was also very pertinent at that time and I was very happy with them, overall. They sent the kit in a timely fashion. As far as from that end, everything went smooth. If we have a second kid I would go through them again.

Americord was featured on my Ovia app and I decided to use them because it’s good to have some insurance in life. Their specialist was superb. I had my baby at 6:00 at night and I followed their instructions. My sister called and they said when they’d be coming so we kept the kit with us at our bedside. Their courier was here first thing in the morning and picked it up. He was excellent. Overall, it was wonderful and I hope one day it’s more affordable for everybody to do it because I really think that everybody should save their baby’s cord and tissue.

I love Americord. The customer service has been fantastic and they followed up on both with email and with phone calls which were very helpful. They followed up after they received all of our blood and tissue, and they also let me know exactly how much they were able to bank and how much we sent. It was all successful.

I decided to bank my daughter's cord blood just in case if I need something. I made order for three but they only saved for two. Then they spelled the name of my daughter wrong.

I'm very satisfied with my experience with Americord and I've already recommended them. At first, I didn't like the guy that I spoke to so I called Americord and asked to speak to someone else. The next person that I talked to made me comfortable, and she was really helpful and very caring. She explained very well to me so that I understood exactly how their process worked and that made all the difference. The courier who picked up the collection kit seemed very confused so the whole process became a little cumbersome. He didn't know where the hospital was and he kept calling all the time. It was really annoying when you're postpartum. But I'm sure it worked out because they sent the confirmation email and let me know what was collected and how much they got out of it. I want protection for the future of my baby but I hope that I'll never have to use it.

I have a very positive experience with Americord. I didn't have to do a monthly payment. I could just do it all at once. Also, if we didn't gather enough we wouldn't have a fee for having used them, so that was nice. The lady who initially helped us was very nice and she didn't make me feel like just a customer. She was very genuine and interested in what we're doing. Also, their staff who got the kit was very punctual. The only hiccup was when I was charged to the wrong card because we had two cards on file. My father wanted us to bank our baby's cord blood because he thought that the technology for using cord blood cells is advancing quite quickly and he wanted to provide an extra measure of protecting his grandson.

I compared the cost, quality and the varieties of the samples they can store, and I think Americord is a good choice. They were good, efficient and timely. I request it on the night before I delivered, and everything just went so well and timely with great speed. I was very happy with that. Someone called me describing the samples sent over, including the numbers and quantities, but it would be great if they could send a copy of this to me.

We researched for the cord banks and found that there were more options with Americord. When we compared it with other banks, the difference was they extracted twice the number. One thing that we had a little bit of problem was when our baby was born, they were really late in picking up the package. It was in the evening and we had talked to them about that beforehand and they had assured us that someone would come and pick it up in the evening, but no one showed up. So we had to follow up a couple of times as it was a deadline. Eventually, they did send someone but it was after a lot of calls. We were dealing with so many other things, and it would have been really good if someone would have taken care of it without us following up four times.

With my age I wanted to make sure I have a healthy baby so I got in touch with Americord. Just in case anything happens, I have an alternative and I feel more secure. My contact person at Americord was wonderful. Every time I talked to her, she answered all my questions. I had problems with the carrier picking up the specimen. We had to call several times before they answered. We had trouble getting them to come out to the house. Then I called my contact person from Americord and she took care of it. She made it very, very comfortable for me and easy and she's the reason I would recommend them to any of my family or friends that want to save their baby's cord.

I decided to bank my baby's cord for the future so that if anything happens, I can use that one. I have searched and found good reviews on Americord. Their specialist suggested a lot of stuff and even if I approached at the last minute I still got back with them immediately. It's very easy to get information and get things done. The process of getting the kit and sending it was also very easy and quick. And the overall experience with the equipment and the people that I talked to was very good. I'd recommend them to friends.

With what we've been reading lately and the fact that banking our baby's cord is an option now, we thought we might as well try it. It can't hurt. Our Americord specialist was great and was quick to follow-up. The experience was really good and it was very easy to have the kit picked up by the courier. However, it would help if there was something written on the outside of the box on what the nurses have to do before delivery. We didn’t open the box until after the baby was born, and there was a few things to do right before, but it worked out fine.

We liked the objectives of Americord and we have gone through their track with the cord for the past few years. Also, the price they offered was better compared to other banks. We googled about Americord and other banks and we've heard the research of Americord in maintaining the bank are better than the other ones in the market.

I have a son with autism and there's ongoing research on attempts to use the umbilical cord to remove or to ease out autism issues with the kids. So, we decided to bank our baby's cord blood because it's a hope against hope, and I'm just hoping this could help my son. We went with Americord because of the cheapness of the service and the availability of the kit on short notice. When we went to the hospital, I didn't know that they will have the kit available. Americord was the only one that was providing it right away. Other providers were taking 48 hours to deliver the kit.

I read customer reviews about Americord and decided to bank my baby's cord blood as a precaution. I was being induced and Americord agreed to ship the kit to us quickly. Their cord blood specialist was very accommodating. He answered all of my questions and I had a good feeling. The process was simple and the paperwork was straightforward. Americord was professional, too.

We thought banking our baby’s cord blood is the kind of safety net we wanna have so my husband did a lot of research and called lots of places. We spoke with every single company but the person we spoke with at Americord was very thorough and answered all of our questions. Everything we heard from them made it sound like it was the best fit for what we were looking for. The fact that we went with them shows you how easy they made it for us and how informative it was. The cord blood specialists were fantastic and they were a big reason why we chose them. We had a fine experience and they're exactly what we were looking for.

We banked our baby's cord blood just in case anything happens to her and using Americord is a good peace of mind. My experience with them was very quick and easy. Working with their cord blood specialist was pretty straight forward. I didn't have any questions because they explained everything. The courier was way earlier than our scheduled pick up, so that was good. Moreover, the box was very well put together.

Americord gave me a discount for single pay and there was no monthly or annual charge. They also seemed to be the more reliable one when I looked up cord blood banks. However, when I first talked to them to get information, it was a very large sum of money to pay upfront. After that, I felt like they were calling almost every couple of days to see if I had decided, and I was getting annoyed. I finally told them that I would call when I was ready to go. When we finally made the decision to do that, they asked for a credit card number to verify funds. Then I asked them if I could change the card number for the charge when the cord blood was actually done, and they said yes.

My god-sister uses Americord and recommended it to me. The representatives from the company explained everything, but I wasn't happy about how the hospital where I delivered my baby, didn't know how to save the placenta and keep it fresh, and so we couldn't get the placenta delivered on time. It had to be shipped within 24 hours, but the hospital could not release the placenta within a certain period of time. They couldn't use the placenta, and I was really looking forward to saving it, as well as my cord blood. It was supposed to help me in the future if I ever need it, but it went to waste. Also, Americord never informed me that there might be other hospitals that do not know, or wouldn't be able to release the placenta. If they had informed me, I would have made sure that I wouldn't go to certain hospitals to give birth.

I did some research on the technology and we decided to bank our baby's cord blood. The lady at Americord was really helpful. I compared their prices to other ones and Americord's were good. The courier came right away to pick up the kit. Everything was easy, painless and good.

Americord didn't charge a banking fee. It was only one time for up to 18 years. I'm very happy with them. We have a history of POL in our family so we wanted to bank our baby's cord blood just in case. I called a week before my due date and they got the kit to me in time. They're very fast. Also, their courier was very prompt in picking up the kit. In addition, I had a very good experience with the blood cord specialist.

Although I don't have any family history of anything or any concern, banking my baby's cord blood might be a good gift for my baby. Compared to other companies, Americord's price is reasonable. The specialist collected the cord blood. However, the courier who picked up the kit didn't come on the same day, but the next day, and I was concerned that the blood has been spoiled.

I received an email with a coupon for Americord from WhatToExpect. I decided to bank my baby’s cord blood for medical reasons and I wanted to have some type of insurance for the long-term. The person who answered my call was amazing and really nice. I liked that it was a one-time payment for the whole thing, including the 18-year storage. And it was easy. The only thing is that when we called to have it picked up at the hospital, it took a while for them to get there. We had to call again because it was almost past the two-hour mark and we were worried that it might affect in some way. But other than, it was great.

My experience with Americord was good. I liked their deal with the one-time payment and its long-term benefits for my baby’s cord blood. Their reps were friendly and provided the right information.

We have diabetes and ALS that run in our family. And right now with research and technology moving forward, I felt like it's a good thing to have Americord for our future. My mother-in-law purchased it for us as a gift. It's something I definitely wanna have for my child and for our family. We're very satisfied and we love it. It was quick, easy, and a great experience overall. I would definitely recommend it.

My doctor had a few list of companies with my first child, so I went online and did some research. I ended up choosing Americord because it's cheaper, and I read good reviews about them. So when I had my second child, I also used them. I like that they have the discount for the sibling. Because I wasn't sure if we're gonna go for the same company with our second child, the discount helped us decide. Everything went well when I dealt with their rep. And the carrier came in very fast to pick up the kit. Overall, I'd recommend them.

I'm paranoid about all these crazy things that could go wrong, so I did a little bit of research on the different things that are being done with cord blood these days. There are really astounding things that can be treated using that and I'm hoping that we continue to do amazing things with it. Americord was less expensive compared to other blood banks and I liked the fact that I could do the whole 20 years instead of having to pay something every single year. I waited until the last moment to pull the trigger on it. It was really easy to sign up and to set up. I was really pleased with the whole process and it was really fast too. It was also great with the rep.

I decided to bank with Americord because of pre-existing family conditions and health issues that we were nervous about. The rep that we talked to was the one that finally sold us because he was really nice and professional. Everyone else has been easy to deal with.

My bank, OBGYN, was talking about different options for blood cords. The only reason that Americord caught my attention was that they are collecting not only blood cords, but also amniotic tissue. There are three different specimen that they pick up but there is not too much use besides the blood cord itself. But I thought that in the future, scientist may find a need. I personally believe that the stem cells are the only solution in so many medical problems in the very close future. I really wanted to have mine banked for any upcoming use. The person that we dealt with over the phone was an old lady, but she was so sweet, very understanding, and knowledgeable.

Americord gave us more options for less price so we went with them. They came and dropped the kit off at the hospital and then came back to pick it up. I recommend them all the time to my family and friends who I know is giving birth.

Americord was more economical than other banks and they also have tissue banking. They're a newer company than the others that had been around since 90’s but it wasn’t a problem with our doctors. It was easy working with them. I did all the paperwork and my husband worked with the cord blood specialist.

Americord had an all-inclusive cost for 20 years of storage. The cord blood specialist was very nice and helpful.

We thought it would be best to bank our baby's cord blood as an extra insurance policy because she's an IVS baby and it's possible that whenever we’ll have any other children we have only one or even an embryo left. We went with Americord because it had better customer service and price than other companies. I also felt more comfortable with the person that I talked to at Americord. She was extremely helpful in answering my questions and made herself very available to me if I had any additional ones. There was a company that was cheaper, but the person on the phone was not very engaged and they didn’t seem to care.

I don’t like the idea of uncertainties, so if banking my baby's cord blood could potentially save his life, it didn’t make sense for me to pass up on it. It gives me peace of mind. Every person that I’ve spoken to was so helpful and kind that I didn’t feel pressured at any point into having to choose them. I felt a sense of comfort and that I was genuinely cared about. When I spoke to a representative I felt I got more information and the pricing was much better than any other banking options. The cord blood specialist was very informative and answered my questions at any time. I emailed him on a Sunday, it was five o'clock and I did not expect a response at all, but he called me back within five minutes.

When I was doing my research, I found that Americord was more affordable and they store the cord blood longer than some of the other banks that I was looking at. I wanted to offer the cord blood to my little girls in case they'd need it for anything. Since there was so much benefit, I took advantage of banking it. I talked to my husband and we decided to go ahead and move forward with it. Their rep was great and it was very easy working with them. Everything that she described was exactly what I experienced. The packages came in the mail very quickly and I also received follow-up emails in case I got rushed to the hospital and had forgotten about it.

I was expecting for pickup to happen within a few hours of delivery, but was rescheduled for the following morning. Also, I recorded emails wanting to confirm baby's name, but would have preferred a phone call to discuss any additional information.

For future proofing in case anything should happen in the future to our first child or any other children we may have, we decided to bank our baby’s cord blood. We wanted the optionality of having the blood there to help assist in any procedures or different medical aspects that may help solve any issues. Americord has a better overall value price-wise with the included 20 years of cord blood banking. Also, they were able to store more blood than the other banks since their storage bags and mechanisms allow a larger volume. Additionally, their reps were great to work with. The courier showed up quickly in the room and picked up the kit. Everything has been great so far and we’re very happy with them.

Based on the price and everything that they offered, we decided on Americord, and it seems like it’s a good value. We were trying to bank blood but we didn’t get enough, so we did the tissue because it would be good in the long run. It could help if we needed it, and there's also the potential that it would be able to help out our other children as well.

We figured banking our baby's cord blood was a good idea in case anything happens. My brother had cancer when he was 5, so we just want to make sure we had option in case anything should ever happen to the baby. And Americord seems like the best cord bank that had the entrance fee and which is active for 20 years. I have a problem with my bank and Americord gave me options to wait and pay for it and they’d set it off for a few days. It was a good experience. Everyone was really nice to talk to and helpful.

With Americord, I get to pay one fee instead of through the years. Their specialist who sold me the package was fabulous. I love her and she was part of the reason I chose them. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She gave me good examples of what could be done with the cord blood and the tissue. My husband helped me pick up the kit. I didn’t bank my seven-year-old and he ended up with autism and there was nothing I could do about it. And I wasn’t going to make the same mistakes with this baby.

I went with Americord mainly for the placenta banking since I can't find any other place that does that. Also, their ratings and reviews online compared to the others were way beyond in comparison. The cord blood rep answered any questions that I had. He gave me a number or email if I needed to contact back about any information I might want to ask about later.
