Any reputable print shop should happily email you the ICC for the media to be printed so you can proof it on your own machine before paying for/wasting the print.
That’s why I use the Retina display as the colour calibration is pretty damn accurate straight out the box. So if I proof a batch of images for a book for example using the printers profile, if there’s any issue with the outcome being too dark or with skewed colours, I can be sure it’s their problem and not mine.
When I displayed my panel of images for my LRPS distinction, they had to be bang on. I lost sleep over the details.
