Rakuten, themselves (separate from Kobo), now has a presence in the U.S. where they sell Kobo products. It looks like their site is designed to compete directly against Amazon and Walmart. And, unlike Walmart, it looks like they have Claras in stock.

The Kobo never went on sale at Rakuten, however.
I hadn't thought to look through Rakuten's site directly. The bad news—it's $10 more expensive than it is on the Kobo site and shipping is another $7 on top of that. ETA is between June 15-24 which makes me think it would be coming from Canada.
