Maybe I'm just lucky but my local Costco does a fantastic job of 12" x 18" prints. I send them highest resolution jpegs exported from Lightroom with the sRGB workspace.
The guys in the store are mostly ex employees of the old London pro labs which shut down because of the move to digital and they have a good eye - especially for black and white. They always say that they look forward to my prints (and those of other local enthusiasts who also use them) coming in because it's much more interesting than the 200 6 x 4 family holiday snaps which are their bread and butter. They show me the prints and will always reprint them at no charge in the rare event that I'm not happy with the outcome. If they're not too busy we have a good chat as well. I usually try and get them to the store when they're not too busy. I upload them overnight during the week and they're ready for collection by lunch time. And they only charge £1.99 per print. Highly recommended.
