Colour mode II Adobe RGB and on-line printing labs

I know the answer to this is probably "try it and see", but I was wondering what results I should expect if I send jpg files to an on-line photolab (such as photobox.co.uk) that have been taken in Adobe RGB colourspace ?

I can't find any mention on their website, and I'm wondering if it's something I should only be using if I intend to print at home (which would be a bind, as my photo printer is a bit on the clunky side, and I don't really want to invest in a new one, as I print all my 'keeper' shots on-line)

Or am I worrying too much ?

I accidently printed all my last set of photos at Teds in aRGB and they seem to come out ok. Not sure if AGFAlabs do a batch convert to sRGB.

I suspect that most labs print in sRGB. Even Nulab of Melbourne, which is a PRO lab said they print in sRGB. Having said that I did a test and once submitted a photo to a normal 1 hour lab in both s and a RGB modes. There was a slight difference in colour but both came out OK. But I'm not a PRO and I probably did not notice the details.
