Slim down the USPS packaging description?

[d0ugparker]

USPS's description block of their own products is huge, and I want to make the descriptions smaller without breaking zencart in the process.

For example, invoices show:

Order Number: 20054
Date Ordered: Thursday 16 June, 2016

Products

75 x Welcome Home (Silver) (8090) $53.25 USD
---------
Sub-Total: $53.25 USD
United States Postal Service (Priority Mail™ Small Flat Rate Box (5-7d)): $7.10 USD
Sales Tax: $0.00 USD
Total: $60.35 USD

I already changed the

United States Postal Service

to

USPS

but can the stuff in red in the parentheses be shortened?

Can a zencart shipping plug-in button be added to cut the length of the different shipping option descriptions so it formats nicer on screen, doesn't overlap, and uses less space but retains its unique description of the different choices?

Can USPS be contacted to suggest adding code to their plug-in to give users the option to use long, medium, or short description lengths?
