Would UPS accept this lumpy padded envelope? (imgur.com)

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.

Lol, no snapping turtles here! Thanks! :)

Based on my experience, that should be okay.
