Buying Claro/Movistar SIM from the US?

I know some countries allow you to do this, and others don't. I haven't been able to find a specific answer for Peru.

I'd really like to be able to purchase a prepaid SIM card for my trip before we leave, and go ahead and top it up at home. That way I could swap SIMs on the plane, and hit the ground already connected. No messing around trying to find a store, wasting time getting it activated, etc.

Is there anywhere that you can buy a prepaid Claro SIM online at a reasonable price?

If not, does anyone know if the Claro store at LIM (my understanding is that it's near the food court) is in a location I could get to before exiting customs/security? I hate when airports have stores that sell SIMs, but they're not in locations that international arrivals actually have access to.
