I can't help you with the Adorama PIX question but my local Costco has printed a number of 20x30 prints for me on their Epson printer which are very good and they also offer their printer profiles for download and also have an option for them not to "auto-correct" your image.

I'm in need of some large prints for office decor (for my day job, in
fact). I'm a WHCC.com customer, but the price difference between them and
AdoramaPix.com for say a 24x36 print are...striking, let's say.
The Adorama service is printing on Kodak Endura paper from my digital
files, and they have an option for them not to mess with the images, and
they have downloadable profiles for proofing. I don't really see anything
worrisome there.
And Adorama will sell me that 24x36 print for $19, and shipping isn't bad
($6 for any number of prints). They ship even prints that size flat.
I've looked casually at some prints of theirs that a friend has, and they
look fine (I haven't had access to his original files or seen prints of
those images from any other source).
Anybody have any experience with AdoramaPix? Or I suppose other online
print sources for large prints? (24x36 is at the upper end of what I need,
and the upper end of what I think my originals can stand, but bigger than
16x20 would be nice). I'm aware of the Costco Epson inkjet option, that
maxes out at 16" wide (due to Costco policy; the printers they use are
actually 24" carriage printers).
