When I start the checkout process all it says is free 10-14 day ground shipping, with no other options.

You could get lucky, but I wouldn't count on getting it in time. Some have gotten theirs pretty fast while others quite slowly going by the shipping threads in the Kobo forum. Of course it's possible they've improved, but Kobo doesn't seem cut out to do direct sales of hardware as well as some other retailers.
Some independent book stores are carrying them in the US. You might have better luck getting on that way. Even if there isn't one near you you might have better luck on getting one shipped quicker.
Here's one store selling them (I'd call to make sure you'd get it in time)...
