Today (November 4) is the last chance for people to get priority Christmas delivery slots. However, there is a simple hack which can give customers a start ahead and grab that important food slot. All customers need to do is sign up for the Delivery Saver plan before 11:59pm tonight and secure early access to online slots for Christmas.
