Yeah, the counter has been the same size for years as far as I can tell. I agree, they keep the staples in stock, but once you decide, call them to make sure it's around for you.
If it doens't get here on time, feel free to PM me. I live in the city so we always only pay 6% GST, so I'd be happy to ship it out to you as long as you can cover the shipping. Have fun - the tax savings does add up!
I just emailed my aunt asking for the red epi pochette!
I have bought all my LV's in Edmonton and yes, it's small (I was there two weeks ago and it has not expanded). Since I fly in once a month I phone ahead and check if there is something specific I am looking for. The SA's are all quite helpful.
I called today and they are almost completely sold out of the Groom items and I got the last Groom agenda in blue. Like addictedtolv said, if you want something specific, ask them to order it for you in advance.
