is the aus post, postage calculator in inches or cm for parcels
can someone tell me if the calculator on the australia post website for parcels is to be written in inches or cm's for the dimensions? at first it says cm's then it says cm's optional on the next page when i type in my dimensions. i just want to know if i can send a rim.

The postage costs are calculated on weight. The only reason you put the size of the parcel in is to make sure it is under the size limit.

yes you can anything up to 20kg australia wide.
NAAB technically thats not correct if it a large box they'll calculate on cubic weight. I posted a VY V6 sump to hispeedvp weighed 6kg but i had to pay for 14kg of cubic weight due to it size

i just measured the rim and it is 47.5cm x 47.5cm x 21cm and is 9.5kg, it can be posted, but do i have to package it or can i just slap an address on it and post it? i don't see how an unwrapped item like that would be a problem.

I would be wrapping it in bubble wrap and put it in a box. Otherwise it may get scratches or damaged. And definately take out postage insurance.

but if i put it in a box it might go over the size limit it just scrapes in by about 1-2 cm, dunno if i will have to post them yet anyway they're on ebay, and the rims aren't immaculate, ones dented and cracked the other is ok.
