Had a bad experience with Costco printing my photos. I specifically did not select either of the options for compression or color work when I was ordering a 16x20.
When I picked it up not only did the receipt read that they'd compressed a large file to a couple hundred K, but the lady cheerfully reported she "color corrected" it despite my settings. The result was a pixelated mess with zero shadow detail - everything remotely gray to mostly black to 100% black was all the same.
Costco is awesome for many things but I will never use them for photos again. Hope you have another choice nearby!
edit: To be clear, for the best image quality do not choose compression regardless of size. Compressing the photos is only so they'll upload faster, or take up less space in Costco's systems.
