I ship mirrors wrapped in acid free tissue paper then lots of newspaper and bubble wrap then polystyrene skins then box.
Mirror surfaces are not vulnerable provided they are clean . It is not easy to scratch a glass surface unless you have anything silica like against it and a hard surface behind the silica. The main thing is to stop anything moving sideways across the surface. From experience I see more attempts to isolate the surface on wedges go wrong leading to scuffs at the edge of the mirror. Also the only way to get your mirror back free of dust is to wrap it in tissue paper as every bit of junk will work its way free into the box during post. You can use special acid free paper for long term storage but I think just to ship once any tissue would be ok.
Finally DO NOT MARK YOUR BOX 'FRAGILE' OR 'GLASS' OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. Pack it so it should stand up to any rough treatment.
Statistically things that are marked fragile get a rougher treatment than unmarked, and far more likely to get broken.
