My only complaint with Costco is that either one of the two stores
nearest me are about 30 mile round trip. As to what I like about them.
Cost to begin with, for the quality of the product it can't be beat,
you can also select between luster or glossy, my local walmarts and
sams clubs don't offer a choice.
Ability to obtain profiles, and turn off the autocorrect on the
machines even when you upload your photos via the internet. With most
of the budget processing places, even if you go there in person and
request they turn off autocorrect, they leave it on which sometimes
really screws up your prints. I've found Costco prints a pretty good
match for my calibrated monitor, even without using their profiles.
With the profiles, it's about as good as you can get. The trick is
making sure autocorrect is OFF
You don't get hassled about not being able to process your order
because they're i"professional". Sams club, walmart etc are so
worried about getting in trouble they hardly ever process any
engagement, wedding, collage, or portrait work where I've used a
photo backdrop. You show up to pick up your order only to learn they
didn't do it and you're going to have to go through the filling out
of paperwork to swear it's your work again....
