I had a side by side with missing freezer racks and found the replacement
co$t as you did.
I ended up using the coated wire rack from the Borg. Made it work with
cutters and a bigger hammer. Either the closet stuff or the shelving
stuff - whatever works for you. In fact, when done the racks on the frig
side looked shitty. So what do I do? Nope. I left it. It was a resale
house. Frig is not part of std fixtures that go with a house here. You
either sell it or include in sale as an enticement labled a "gift" which
translates to as-is.

One time, a friend had a fridge without shelf. I measured,
and got one that was too big, from the local metals
recycling place. Cut it to length with a bolt cutters.
Hint: Cut an inch or two longer than what you tape measure,
and then cut it down if you really need to. You can always
trim a half inch off, but you can't add a half inch.
DAMHIKT.

If you can read a tape 'correctly' why make it longer, that's just
stupid !!!!

Cold makes things contract, right? Soon as you put those warm metal
shelves in the fridge, they're gonna get shorter. Best cut them a bit
longer when they're warm just to be sure. ;-)
On a serious note, if I'm sourcing something from a recyclers and using
something like bolt cutters to do it, I probably would make sure I get
something a little larger - then I'd take more time to cut a nice neat
edge in the 'shop at home (not using bolt cutters), which will lose a
little bit of material in the process.

I'd make a template out of two slats from old window shades or other long,
thin pieces of wood and a binder clip. Hold them together, extend them till
they both touch and then clip in place. From what I see of old timers
working, they'll make a template as often as they'll make measurements for a
lot of "cut in place" sort of things. In the Paleozoic era, when people
still used linoleum, I remember seeing a pro make a paper template with two
sticks and a square so fast I was "floored." <g>
