Its nice to know the lab read the instructions!
Kodak used to mount their slides in the cardboard mounts. They are probably the same type. The film itself is not really held by the glued cardboard, but is in an inset in the cardboard frame. To demount, take a single edge razor blade and carefully start to split the mount on the edge. Once you get it started you can peel the holder right open. If you are too rough doing this you can bend the mount and slide, so work carefully. Start with the slides that you like the least so you do not experiment with anything you like!
A box of 36 slides should take you about ten minutes to unmount. Dust them off and you are good to go!
Good luck!

I have separated the common slide card mounts before but it was many years ago when I used to shoot slide film only (c. early 1980's). I had a few damaged when a slide projector decided to throw a wobbly and tried crushing the slides instead of advancing them! I cut out the slides and then re-mounted them in plastic holders.
If I remember correctly I used either a single-sided safety razor-blade or a craft knife/scalpel and gently eased it between the two layers of card (watch your fingers!) until I started to get the two parts separated and then it was easy to pull it apart the rest of the way. I seem to remember that the inside faces of the card halves had a small indent/recess in them to accept the slide and the glue used to hold the two halves together was only around the very outside edges of the card mount (they obviously didn't want to get glue too close to the slide itself).
As I say this was back in the early 80's and they were all Kodak mounts so whether anything has changed in the intervening years I have no idea.
If you have access to one of the old fashioned paper guillotines (office or school perhaps) you could try shearing off maybe 1/8" to 1/4" off a couple of adjacent sides which might give enough leeway to peel them apart. It would certainly be faster that way if you have a lot to do.
Edit: I see BigDave got in ahead of me while I was typing...lol.
