Recently got one via Clove from the UK https://www.clove.co.uk/
I was pretty nervous getting it cause did not really know how it was gonna go, and they asked for a photo of my credit card (without the secrets of course) and proof of residence, which was a bit spooky, but it's their attempt (or so they say) at pushing back against potential scalpers.
Do check Fairphone's community form about owning one this way though, cause there's been other Canadians who have gotten the phone, and they have tidbits to share about. We also don't get warranty cause we're outside the EU AFAIK.
