Look at the Specials page. I might buy one of those AOE 7x50 MIF at $99 down from $129 as a present for someone myself. Just note the eyepeices are individually focused, rather than a single central focus. For astronomy, this is good. For rapidly changing focus while birding, say, this would be a pain.
AOE don't provide a phone number - strange, but true.
But if you send an urgent email, I'm sure you'll get a quick response.
They have done Express Postage for me during last year's Christmas/New Year's period so I'm sure they'll do their best to get them to you in time.
Remember a tripod mount - they have a plastic one that should be fine for $9. Yes, plus postage and you cannot handle them before you buy are the disadvantages. I can only say that I've bought three pairs from AOE and had a problem with one fixed quickly at no cost to me - I'm happy with their service and products.
