Found the issue and a fix.
Delete every code present in the .htaccess in the root directory to the folllowing:
FileETag none
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#Redirect to non-www with https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN Caching
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
<filesMatch "\\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf|ttf|otf|woff|woff2|eot|svg)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public"
</filesMatch>
<filesMatch "\\.(css)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public"
</filesMatch>
#<filesMatch "\\.(js)$">
#Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, private"
#</filesMatch>
<filesMatch "\\.(xml|txt)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public, must-revalidate"
</filesMatch>
<filesMatch "\\.(html|html|php)$">
Header set Cache-Control "no-store"
</filesMatch>
</ifModule>
# END Caching
<FilesMatch ".(eot|otf|ttf|woff|woff2)">
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>
<Files .json>
Header unset Cache-Control
</Files>
<Files .env>
order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
Save the file and reload your /delivery route on chrome.
It should be working now.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT change the .htaccess file present in the "/public" directory.

I will be updating the same to v2.7.1 soon.
