Hi, I am looking for a table of delivery costs from worldwide to the UK, by weight and volume. Is there any online resource that gives me this type of data? Do I need to contact every courier individually or are there online calculators I can use to get an idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to work out what a supplier is going to charge you?

If you are I wouldn't bother searching for comparison tables, you have to consider that shipping includes packaging and some companies charge more for this than others. Also some companies have contracts and special offers with some mailing firms.

There is no such thing. There may be a UK site that will calculate charges for you, but it;s not just the different services offered by all of the carriers, they all have their own zones and weight breaks. And of course it matters where the shipment originates.

I just set up a single UPS Worldwide Saver table from Hong Kong worldwide. It's 90 rows by half kg and 9 columns for their different zones.

And there are about 240 countries, islands, etc. you first have to assign to one of the zones. And, of course, DHL, FedEx, EMS, etc. are all different, both the way they define zones and the rates. Not to mention next day, 2 day, etc.

DHL cost around £10 next day to UK from UK, From UK to EU will cost you about £15-£20 for 1-2kg
