Wayne's work is to the highest standard, I had a 203mm done not so long ago (probably longer than I remember, damn getting old).
I didn't build a box to send the mirror in. I went to Bunnings or supercheap auto (can't remember) and bought a suitable sized Pelican case type thing (safe case or whatever they call them), cut some foam I had from an old foam mattress including a piece to fit over the mirror (dish in one piece to fully enclose the mirror), wrapped the mirror in soft tissue type paper and it turned out to be the best packing I could get.
It came back in the same case which I now use for other astronomy equipment.
