Packaging for a 10" newtonian

[Spacer (Gulli)]

My apologies if I have posted in the wrong forum.

I have a 10" SN that I need to ship interstate. Checked with pack and send, and their quote is coming out to be on a higher side.

I have been trying, but unable to find a box of appropriate size.

Wanted to get suggestions from someone who has been on a similar boat and has successfully packed and shipped a such item.

Thanks
Shar

I shipped my SN10 with pack and send from Melbourne to Brisbane and more recently from Brisbane to Hobart with the removalists. Both tines in the original box which I've kept. It is double layer cardboard with foam inserts that cradle the ota. It has foam end pieces that fit around the mirror cell and around the corrector plate end. Maybe someone that has purchased a new 10 inch newt would be up for providing the packaging as not everyone wants to hold onto something that bulky.
