I have most all of my past several years of client's prints done on Lustre and delivered by Costco.
I have yet to hear anything else other than praise from my hundreds of clients.
Glossies, metal, canvas and other medium are on a special order basis.

Steve, I've often wondered when I hear of pros using Costco (not a snob here, you can use who you want), are you ever afraid of having clients see you picking up the photos there?

True story, I did a wedding for a family member as a gift. (yeah, expensive gift, but we were like brother and sister growing up) To help with the costs on my end, I did my printing at Costco. Of course, I ran into a client that said "I thought you were "high end." Even after nicely laughing it off, and explaining... I still felt like they were double thinking using my services again, and prayed that they didn't spread the word that I got my stuff printed at Costco.

Again, I don't care what others do with their business, I was just wondering if you'd experienced anything like this, or was it a concern?

It would be a concern to me as I know Costco uses less than premium paper.
