Sure, just let me know what they say. It's pretty odd that this isn't listed, so I might have preferred to handle it myself if it were my setup. In the meantime, I'm sure it's fine, though being certain is definitely better.

Well, being a Delta built unit suggests it's probably average, but because it's likely designed to meet Dell's standards, one of the goals is probably cost-effectiveness so they can earn profits. Unfortunately, it wasn't the Corsair RM850i, which would have been a great choice. Still, this implies it's definitely not a fire starter.

I'd suggest asking them to confirm if this model has a group regulated design or Haswell certification. Getting an exact model number would be the most helpful solution. All the rest—APC, E-star, RoHS—seem pretty irrelevant.
