International Standard: 3 to 6 weeks (may take 8 to 12 weeks due to 
customs delays)
International Expedited: 3 to 7 business days

In their Amazon.com storefront they offer contact but you have to log 
into Amazon to use it.

There are copyright restrictions that would prevent them from selling 
you a scanned copy. I found this out trying to find a digital copy on

excellent condition.
