Two things. You get that site because YOU are not in the US. Even if you set your payment details to a US credit card and set a US billing/shipping address Kobo will not show you purchasing options/prices of you are elsewhere (being in Mexico I faced the same problem, using a US based web proxy I could see the buying options but not log in to comp lete the purchase). If your friend is in the US he should be able to see the real US page and order. The estimated shipping time from Kobo is ten to fourteen days and they don't charge shipping. But remember, whether you choose Kobo or chapters, the shipping times are estimates, not guarantees, which means it could be much faster or experience unforeseen delays (worst case scenario).

Oh, and Kobo doesn't take orders over the phone. Otherwise you could just Skype their toll free number and avoid the hassle (I tried and was shot down).

There is a thread with a guy who ordering from chapters indigo and his experience (including shipping time).
