Also on the costco thread, color profiling is very important for any digital photo printing(applies also to the online solutions). The colors you see on your monitor may not be exactly the same colors that end up being printed unless you have your monitor "tuned" and have a color workflow set up. Basically, don't trust that what you see on your monitor is exactly what you will see in your prints unless you have done the work to make sure your monitor colors are accurate. That may be some of the issues with costco printouts, but can't confirm it as I don't know all the individual issues.
The color profile and workflow issue is one of the main reasons that I print my own prints, I have spent a lot of time making sure my monitor and printer colors match. And when I print at an outside vendor, I either make sure to get a test print, or view it on thier monitor(as I am sure that the vendors that I use have a monitor tuning ritual as well) to make sure the colors are accurate.
