Question: did you buy the bike from the bikeshop that helped you with the saddle? If so, a fitting came with the bike. Adjusting a long succession of saddles is included in the cost of the fitting.
If you paid for a bike fitting, but got the bike elsewhere, the saddle selecting, fit, and adjustment/readjustment should be included. Even if you bring in an outside saddle. You tried theirs, after all.
If you did not buy the bike there, didn't pay for a bike fitting, and they helped you, then, that sounds like a wonderful shop since they spent so much time helping, but yes, you are correct about not bringing X amount of saddles there to be adjusted.

The shop where I bought my bike helps me with saddle adjustments for free when I buy the saddle from them. If I bring in a saddle that I bought elsewhere, they would charge me for adjustments.
