Since you can't send it off today, I would call Nikon first thing in the morning (1-800-645-6678)and see what the turn around time is for the repair. Tell them when you need the camera back and maybe they can get it fixed in that amount of time. See if they can fix it faster in Melville, NY or El Segundo, CA and then ship it to that repair facility.

Melville Repair is:
Nikon Inc.
Camera Repair Dept.
1300 Walt Whitman Rd.
Melville, NY 11747-3064

El Segundo Repair is:
Nikon Inc.
Camera Repair Dept.
841 Apollo St.
Suite 100
El Segundo, CA 90245-4721

If you preapprove a repair cost, that can speed things up by a week if it is not under warranty.
