Does anyone have experience using the Fairphone 4 in the US? What carrier do you use? I'm thinking about getting one, however I use Verizon and I think I might have to switch to something else.

If you bought it from some 3rd party resellers or second hand you could possibly import it to US.

You can find some answers on Fairphone's support website & forums.

Since it's not certified they can't legally send it outside of EU. More info about it here, resellers for 4, resellers for 3 & forum answer & here (EU approved countries).

More info on internationally approved resellers here & here (needs translation).

& some possible alternatives would be teracube & shiftphone.
