Watch out
Do not reward a response merely because it contains familiar correct phrases. A request for a delivery date needs a date or an honest statement that you do not know it.
Try it yourself

Repeat the sequence with a fresh situation. When checking a German reply, first ask whether it answers the actual request. Then check verb position, case and endings. A grammatically tidy sentence can still give the wrong day, deny the wrong thing or fail to answer the question. Keep one first attempt and one correction so you can compare what you produced before seeing a model.
