You can create your account at Checkout or in advance. Here's how:
On the Checkout page, click on "Checkout". When you place your order, we will also ask you to provide your name and email address, create a password, and select a security question and answer. The security question and answer provide added safeguards in the event that you forget your password.
You can create an account in advance by clicking on the Sign In link at the top of this page. On the next page, click on the "Create Account" button. You'll be prompted to provide your name, address and email address, create a password, and select a security question and answer.

We may also ask you to sign in after brief periods of inactivity during your shopping session. This may happen if, for example, you have to leave your computer unexpectedly.
To make shopping easier and faster, we save your credit card and billing address details securely. However, if you do not want us to save any of your credit card data, untick the box to save your credit card details on the Create an Account page, and we will not store your credit card data or billing address in your account. You will have to re-enter this information to make your next purchase.
There is a general difference between paying with a credit card versus a debit card. Most credit card companies first authorise a customer's card when an order is placed, then actually charge the account when the item is provided—in our case, at the time we ship your order. The only exception to this is digital purchases such as NOOK eBooks, NOOK Magazines, NOOK Newspapers, NOOK Videos and NOOK Apps—for these items, the credit card account is charged immediately.
Most debit cards reserve funds from a customer's bank account at the time of the original transaction. That amount, therefore, is unavailable to you. When the order ships, the bank pays that debited amount to NOOK.co.uk. For digital purchases such as NOOK eBooks, the order amount is immediately debited from the customer's bank account. Please note how the situations below affect your accounts.
Pre-order Items
If you pre-order an item and pay with a credit card, the authorisation for that purchase usually expires in seven days for Visa, or 30 days for MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB cards. For items that are due to arrive in more than 30 days, we may need to obtain another authorisation from your credit card company. Your credit card is charged at the time we ship the product. The only exception to this is digital pre-orders such as NOOK eBooks, NOOK Magazines, NOOK Newspapers, NOOK Videos and NOOK Apps—for these items, the credit card account is charged immediately.
If you pre-order an item and pay with a debit card, your bank places a hold on your account for the amount of that purchase. If your pre-order has not shipped within the allotted authorisation time frame (7 days for Visa and 30 days for MasterCard, American Express and Discover), we may need to obtain another authorisation from your debit card company. With the exception of digital items such as NOOK eBooks, debited funds for pre-orders are only paid to us when your order ships. For digital items, the pre-order amount is immediately debited from the customer's bank account.
Please be aware that bank policies and procedures vary. If you experience any delays or errors regarding the availability of funds in your bank account, direct your questions to the bank.
Backorders and other delays
Payment for backorders or delayed products is generally the same as described above for pre-ordered items. If you are using a credit card, it will be authorised but not charged until the item ships. If you are paying by debit card, your bank reserves the funds and forwards that amount to us when we ship the item.
Cancellations
If you cancel an order, or if an order is cancelled because a product is unavailable, your credit card will not be charged.
If you used a debit card, please be aware that although we do not charge your card until the order ships, banks place a reserve against your bank account when your order is placed. If you used a debit card and your order was cancelled, it is your bank's responsibility to release the reserve against your account. Bank policies and procedures vary with regard to releasing a reserve on funds. Any questions about releasing funds should be directed to your bank.
Please Note: Cancellations are not possible on orders for digital products such as NOOK eBooks, NOOK Apps, NOOK Newspapers and NOOK Magazines. Once purchased, digital products cannot be refunded.

Once you enter this information, click "Submit Order". Depending on the composition of your order -- and to determine whether or not you will receive Free Delivery or Free Member Express Delivery -- you may be asked for some or all of the following information:

In addition, you will pay a per-item charge, which will vary with each type of item in your order. Per-order and per-item charges are summarised in the delivery tables listed on this page, for each service and delivery option.
Delivery Time and Charges
The charts listed above display the total delivery time from the moment you order an item. However, you can calculate when an item will be delivered by simply adding the dispatch availability time displayed on each product page ("Usually dispatched within 24 hours," for example) to the number of days your delivery method will take. Here's the simple equation:
Dispatch Availability Time + Delivery Method Time = Total Delivery Time
Send everything in as few packages as possible holds your order until all items are available to dispatch (including pre-orders). This minimises delivery costs, but it means that you will have to wait longer for your order. NOTE: Even though you have chosen to dispatch your order together, we may still be required to send more than one package at no extra charge.
Sending each item as available increases your delivery costs, but you will receive your items as quickly as possible.
