If anyone is looking for a Canadian or international order, I just found this U.K. site which multiple threads of Reddit have been talking about. They offer shipping tracking.

I tried buying from Clove from the US, but they want me to upload a picture of my ID and credit card....

Or alternatively:

If you are unable to provide the images, an alternative option is to have this transaction refunded - you can then pay via our secure PayPal gateway or arrange a bank transfer. PayPal allows you to select โ€˜Pay by Debit or Credit Cardโ€™ if you do not have a PayPal account. For refunds please be aware that if your card currency is not GBP sterling, then the funds returned to your account may be less than the original transaction. Exchange rates vary and your card issuer will most likely need to use a different currency conversion rate for the refund.
