Australia post confusion internatuional

[2012billym]

I chose to send a document International standard satchel and entered the dimensions provided in the postage setion of my listing. Yet I get an error message stating :

It looks like there's a problem with this listing.

• International postage - Package dimensions exceeded maximum allowable limit for service Australia Post International Standard
• How can this be and how do I get around it?
  TIA.

Have you perhaps mixed up mm with cms ?  With an A4 it would be 295mm x 210mm or 29.5cm x 21cm.

Have you noticed that most metric countries list dimensions in millimetres (including USA) while China uses centimetres.
