One bit of advice... "find another place to do your boards." If this company has problems with corner-exit on discretes, I can assume they've got other problems they'll want to address. Been doing boards for quite some time, and I have yet to hear that one, even from the smallest of assembly shops. There are plenty of assembly shops trampling themselves to get work, so go forth and prosper...
