When uploading the .stl files to shapeways.com, they ask me the length units used in the models (mm, inches, m). What must I select?

I suspect they are mm (I've opened the .stl file with a text editor and the magnitude of the numbers there seems mm to be a reasonable unit), but cannot be sure.

If you want to order the discussed parts, you don't need to upload the stl by yourself; they are already uploaded:

https://www.shapeways.com/product/T45W4Q...li=ostatus

If you are uploading your own files; it depends on what you used while designing the parts.

I ordered both items on top links (4 port covers, side cover and battery tray) and it was 36€ (shipping from NL to Spain and promotional 10$ discount included).
