Yes
Dont know who else here uses costco for prints but thought it was worth mentioning that they have made their icc per lab available which is obviously a good thing.
 
I didn't post a link as all labs vary. I use watford
 
I may have to give them a try now , not really had much faith in them before .
 
i find them very good, and the "done in an hour & just round the corner" is perfect
 
Not used them yet, but I think them making profiles available is going to push them up my list.

As a little test I download the profile for my local store (Oldham) and output an image with the standard Canon sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and the Oldham Costco Profile, the Costco version being noticeably darker.

Is your monitor calibrated? i dont get any problems with costco, thou only use them in emergencies, DSCL normally
 
I have a calibrated monitor, and using Aperture On-Screen Proofing with the standard Canon sRGB on then Costco profile.

So long as your doing your PP adjustments using the correct profile,on-screen proofing and output with the correct profile, then there is on problems at all, the issues occur when you get the wrong profile sent to the lab.

The bottom one looks darker
 
There's a colour cast on both of those images. Look at the RGB values on skin and shirts
 
The skin tones are not quite right (I usually start there). Old shirts just go grey lol
