I was suggesting using their profiles for softproofing, not converting your files. With my own printer set up to soft proof the paper I use and profiled with my printer, a quick "ctrl y" shows me the soft proof. But of course, whatever system you are happy with. Just suggestions from me.

This is how West Coast Imaging (WCi) used to work. Now that the have their own printer (Durst Lambda IIRC along with Epson 9600) they'd rather the files be left in the working color space, i.e., Adobe RGB or EktaSpace whatever and allow their software to apply the profile for the paper and printer. My results have been very consistent across a number of printers and labs (and my own printer with a custom profile), once I learned to trust my eyeballs.
