Read dimension order carefully

Product dimensions may be listed as length × width × height, but some sellers use width × depth × height. Confirm labels before converting.

Convert each side separately

For a 10 × 20 × 30 cm product, convert each number to inches rather than converting the total. This keeps fit checks accurate.

Frequently asked questions
