OC Would UPS accept this lumpy padded envelope?

I have to send my (Nintendo Switch) Joy Cons in for repair. They gave me a prepaid UPS Ground shipping label but I was on my own for packing materials.

I packed the controllers into the box my phone came in, then put that into the padded envelope. I thought it was decent-ish, until I closed it up. Now it seems misshapen and sketchy.

Would UPS accept this? Or should I start over (and buy a box, I guess)?

Having sent stuff weirder and more fragile a couple times, as long as it has a legible address and does not contain a live snapping turtle, you're good to go. Just sucks it's necessary. I remember having controllers you could stomp on.

Based on my experience, that should be okay.

No Stupid Questions

@NoStupidQuestions@kbin.social

A place to ask questions, stupid or not.

Rules

Rule 1: Top level comments must contain a genuine attempt at an answer

All direct answers to a post must make a genuine attempt to answer the question. Joke responses at the parent-level will be removed. Accounts using AI to generate answers will be banned. Follow-up questions at the top level are allowed.

Please do not answer by only dropping a link and do not tell users they should "google it." Include a summary of the link or answer the question yourself. Users are coming to NSQ for straightforward, simple answers or because of the nuance that engaging in conversation supplies. LMGTFY links will be removed.

No responses being rude to the questioner for not knowing the answer.

Exceptions:

On-topic follow up questions are allowed.

Link only answers permitted if the question happens to be "What is a good subreddit for...?"

Rule 2: Please try searching here before posting a new question

Try to keep repeat posts to a minimum. As much as we love answering questions here, it doesn't help when we see repeat questions on the front page every day. You can find the questions that have come up here again and again in our wiki.

Rule 3: Follow the Terms of Service

Be polite and respectful in your exchanges. NSQ is supposed to be a helpful resource for confused users. Civil disagreements can happen, but insults should not. Personal attacks, slurs, bigotry, etc. are not permitted at any time.

Check out the Terms of Service page for more info - violations of any of those of clauses may result in a ban without warning.

Rule 4: No medical advice questions

No medical advice questions

Rule 5: No trolling or joke questions

Disallowed: questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, just song lyrics as title, etc.

Rule 6: No suicide or 'was I raped/sexual assaulted/sexually harrassed?' questions

Suicide related questions are not welcome in NSQ. Please look to other magazines/resources for a better place.

Questions along the lines of "was I raped?" or "was I sexually assaulted?" are best addressed by the trained, professional support resources you can find elsewhere.

Rule 7: No self-promotion, shilling or begging

No trying to draw traffic to product/video/podcast/website by phrasing it in the form of a question.

Asking for likes, birthday wishes, handouts, or fundraising support fall under this as well. Please see more appropriate magazines for that.

Rule 8: No illegal/unethical or disturbing subject matter

Nothing like "Where can I find a copy of (movie/show/music) for free online?" There are other places for asking that, this is not one of them.

Tasteless or disturbing questions regarding loli, pedophilia, murder, violence or other sketchy or disgusting subject matter are not welcome here. You are welcome to ask good faith questions about such topics but be aware such threads may be locked or removed if necessary to preserve the integrity of the magazine.

Rule 9: No disguised rants, agenda posts or potstirring

Other questions not asked in good faith - such as putting a rant or hate towards any group in the form of a question. Any questions we suspect of being leading questions or asked merely to promote an agenda or sealioning will be removed.
