Yeah.  I got the news yesterday from my Costco that they are shutting down the in store photo department, but will still be available online.  I have used them once in a while, preferring to print my own stuff at home unless I needed a large volume or something I cannot print, like canvas.  Will miss them.  Glad to know you were happy with your mail order.  Hmm. Maybe someone can pick up one of their 48" Epson printers on the cheap.  Now if only I could add a room for it.

A few months back, Costco closed its photo department, in nearby Kamloops.

Now, I read that Costco is closing its photo departments in all their stores, 
citing lower and lower print volumes.

I've had a couple of orders filled by Costco, with the prints coming by mail.  
Ordering on-line will continue to be available.

What I noticed, was that the prints did not come from the Vancouver BC firm 
that has run all of Costco's photo centers.  My prints have come direct from 
FujiFilm in Toronto and I'm sure that will continue, too.

For those who use Costco, the prints direct from Fuji were perfect.

But, it is a sign of the times.

David.
