Last week I had to pay £4.20 as my poster tubes are 69cm and the max is 60cm for a recorded item. Wrong or right, I'm not going to argue with a postmaster at the counter who tells me the rates have recently changed and gets a tape measure out!

According to the information on the bottom of the above Royal Mail webpage, the max dimensions for recorded delivery on poster tubes is 900mm. However, to complicate matters, the item's length plus twice its diameter must also be less than 1040mm. Apart from that the cost is 72p plus the normal 1st or 2nd class postage as determined by the item's weight. I reckon your postmaster needs to adjust his glasses!
Hope this helps.
