A circle and an oval can have the same circumference.
I cannot recommend strongly enough the TRY BEFORE YOU BUY message.
Each manufacturer has a different shape and this affects the width, length and depth of the "hole".

OK the gold standard is to try before you buy but some of us do not have a lbs and need to buy of the internet (as asked by the OP). I have bought everything from helmets through shoes to shorts / jerseys online and never had a problem with fit. Do you perhaps live in a city?
