These options are found during checkout under Shipping Method next to the Promotional Codes box.  
 
AND also new is the long awaited, drum roll please...

International Shipping is now automatically applied when the ship to address is outside of the United States.  
 
Please Note with International Shipping:  Expedited shipping is NOT available for international orders.  Certain countries may charge additional fees, such as custom fees and independent carrier fees. We cannot anticipate these fees and will not be able to reimburse you for any additional fees incurred. Please contact your local customs office or branch office of the US Postal Service to determine what type of fees you may expect based upon the type of merchandise you wish to order.

Excellent! Thank you so much for these developments.

Wow...I predect a raise in sales by at least 10 percent, probably more.

The new shipping information looks splendid. Another round of thanks to Mindy and co. for presenting it so clearly; very well done!

As one of the "internationals" who was begging for this, thank you very much! This will certainly increase the profile of GCU as a "worldwide" supplier of quality greeting cards.
 
Cheers,

I think I can safely say that international deliveries (at least to other parts of North America and Western, Central, and Eastern Europe) are carried out more quickly than the guidelines issued by most U.S. companies, including this one. It is policy to quote the predictions set out by the U.S. Postal Service in order to cover most contingencies, but the reality is indeed usually much faster. I have experienced some unbelievably rapid arrivals at my address here in the Netherlands. You're correct, Avis, in that it does depend on many factors, some of them mysterious; however, I think you'll be happily surprised. I have been, time and time again.
