Do you also need to do so when sending off to have a metal print?

Depends on the printing service - if they sharpen themselves or not - and if they do, what kind of sharpening they apply.

Output sharpening can be quite automated, as it mostly depends on the printing technology and support used.

Does CostCo give any advice?

I looked through their site and they didn't say.
I emailed them and asked about profiles...they said for metal just use sRGB.

I forgot to ask about sharpening, etc...grrr.

OH well, had to order to get by Xmas. I'm sure Mom and Dad will like what they get!!
:)

Thank you all!!
