The end of the passage states, "d'ici trois jours ouvrables" or "dans", but the English phrase to translate is "within" so should en not be used instead of dans? En being within and dans being similar to after ex number of days.
En vs dans

Cheers for repliy Jim I agree with the explanation link, but that is not what it says in the passage, so the English text should be changed to "normally within 3 days".
