Costco for photos? Other in-store suggestions?

Has anyone used Costco to print photos?  Any input on quality?  Does the South Mopac warehouse have a photo lab in store?

One of my goals before I have this baby is to print out 2 years worth of digital photos & put them in an album.  I just received Costco's flyer & there is a coupon for 9 cent unlimited photos. 

Ideally, I'd like to take in a few cd's & get them printed in store.  I don't want to be uploading photos forever on the internet & I've done mass printings with snapfish/shutterfly with poor results...it just seems when I get hundreds printed at a time the quality is lower. 

If this is a no-go, any other suggestions?  Price is a factor, but I'd pay more for better quality (thinking of going to Ritz/Wolf or somewhere else in town...).  Thanks!

    Yeah, I just had some photos printed there and they turned out great! 

    I'm going to have to get that coupon - is it in this month's mailer?  I have a ton of photos to print out and that's a great deal! :)  

    BTW you can upload all of your pictures online (Costco) and then tell them which location you want to pick them up at.  They're usually ready within an hour! :)

    That's where I print all of mine and the quality is good. I have been using them for 2 years now. I'm so happy that they put out another 9 cent special. I have been waiting for it! If you do end up doing it online then their shipping is free. That's how I usually do mine. They do have the lab right there instore too though.

    Yep, the 9 cent special is in this months flyer & the coupon is good from 04.15-05.09.

    I'd upload the photos online but I have hundreds to print...I'd rather just drop a CD off in store than take the time to upload them all...

    Good to know about the quality!  Thanks!

    My mom prints all of her photos there. I think the quality is great! If we had a Costco card {we have Sam's} that is where I would get mine done. I love the fact that they have the white border option on prints.

    My neighbor is a semi-professional photographer and she raves about the Costco printer quality. (At least at the one in S.Austin.)

    And, we've used Costco several times and have always been very happy. : )

    I agree with everyone on this. Costco photo printing is awesome. I get my headshots printed there. In addition to doing white boarders, you can also do "lustre finish" at no additional charge, meaning it's a little less shiny than the glossy finish and doesn't show finger prints as easily.
