People was extremely nice at the phone but they came 16 hours late to pick up the cord, placenta, etc. (not within six hours after delivery as promised) and we did not had news of them for a month.

I think I completed the cord blood process correctly with Americordblood, but after the birth of my daughter in June 2013, I never heard anything from them again, so I'm not sure if I even have any ti... See more

Excellent
Came to pick up when we called and sent emails and updated us along the way. Very organized
Affordable Peace of Mind
My whole experience has been easy and reassuring. My doctor said that the collection kit was one of the best they had seen, easy to collect with, and to return. I appreciate the updated emails every month on my payments and account. It makes life so much easier and reassuring to know that we have our cord blood banked for the future. Wonderful experience!
Great service
Answered all our questions and the service for pick up at the hospital was quick.
Wonderful Customer Service
I researched many different cord blood banks prior to deciding on Americord. Speaking to Michael offered a ton of information. He answered questions I wouldn't have even thought to ask. He returned my calls or e-mails within minutes on most occasions-even once at 9pm. Storing the placenta and cord blood could not have been easier. They sent a box and I filled out the papers and handed it over to the hospital staff when I arrived to deliver my baby. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a no hidden fees, responsive, easy to work with cord blood storage bank.
Great Service
I just had my first baby and chose Americord to bank my baby cord blood. Americord provides great customer service from the beginning until my baby cord blood is safely stored. I am satisfied with the service and will continue to choose Americord when I expect my second child.
Arya Kalafat cordblood review
Communication during pick up of cord blood is poor . Customer service quality does not match with the sensitivity of the subject.
However the communication during the selling of package was good.

Great overall
All the people we spoke with at Americord were very kind and helpful and tried to explain everything clearly. We also got a high number of cells which is great. The only thing we had a slight confusion was with the pick up times as we thought originally it was urgent to deliver as soon as possible but after 7pm the courier doesn't come till the next morning. Needless to say the courier did come the next morning and there were no other issues so that was good.

Best in The Business
Very affordable and extremely easy to set up ! Quick pick up service and great caring representatives !! Would recommend to anyone !!
Satisfied and fairly treated
All of the telephone operators we have spoken with have been very kind and helpful. In the beginning, we had lots of questions and they were always patient in answering each of them. They mailed the kit straight to our house, then we just took it with us to the hospital. Very simple. We handed the kit to our nurse at the hospital and the delivery team took care of the entire collection, which was very easy for us. Unfortunately, there was some miscommunication between my husband and the nursing staff as all 3 possible products were checked on the paper to be stored for us when all we wanted was cord blood (simply due to cost of storage). In his sleep deprived state my husband didn't double check and signed the form to store all 3 products. We did not catch this until we got our first bill which was approx $150 more than we agreed to pay for the cord blood. I spoke with a representative who explained my husband signed for all 3 products. Unfortunately, you can NOT throw out any products once they have processed them and stored them. So, we were looking at a $6000 bill vs a $3000 for cord blood. The representative took in to consideration what happened and gave us a little discount since we were now forced in to all 3 products unknowingly. You apparently get a discount anyway if you elect to store all 3 products, but she gave us a little more money off. She also adjusted the payment due date and offered to decreased the monthly payment to make it more affordable. Excellent customer service in my opinion, especially because it was bad news that she had to give us. I would have given 5 stars if we were able to discard the unwanted products and only pay for the cord blood as we had discussed with the rep we signed up with prior to the baby's birth. About 3 weeks after our baby's birth we received a phone call indicating that our cord blood and tissues were in excellent condition. Overall at this point we are satisfied despite now having a bigger bill.

They were polite, clear and kind every instance we spoke, chat, phone or email.
