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 ?

AdobeRGB is better on editing extensively, not printing. Probably you should convert them to sRGB before sending.

For home print... As long as your monitor is calibrated and matches color spaces, and right paper used; a decent printer looks fine for non-pro's purposes.
