You may be able to inject oil through the bleed valve holes as this will put oil above the piston seals, but you have to make some kind of tube to help you push the oil in.

I've sent them to other European countries before and usually it takes 1-2 weeks from dispatch date, the pandemic is obviously making things difficult/slow too.
