When I am sending photos to a shop to print from them, I usually prepare the file by cropping to size that I am ordering. I don't want any surprises there.
I just recently discovered that LR Print Module (at least in LR-2.4) can "print" to a JPEG. This may be useful in your case, since the Print module allows you to set the page size to the desired format, and then easily adjust the photo within the boundaries. After that, you can "print" to JPEG (haven't done that myself yet), and send that file to the shop.
