* Hello [@mamekichi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mamekichi/),
* Thank you for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, I’m unable to reproduce it
on my end, please see: [https://picpick.net/i/803bcd4931](https://picpick.net/i/803bcd4931),

* Could you please test it in an isolated environment – with only our plugin and
WooCommerce active -and switch to the default WooCommerce theme, Storefront?
This will help us determine whether the issue is caused by your current theme.
* If the problem persists with Storefront, please re-enable your plugins one by
one and check whether any of them is the cause.
* Looking forward to your findings!
* Best regards,
Marta Borówka

* Hello [@martapaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martapaw/),
Thanks for
your reply. I tried enabling only Woocomerce and Flexible shipping. The theme
is Storefront. The result was the same.The result was also the same when I changed
the theme to Twenty Twenty-Four or Twenty Twenty-Five

* I investigated the conditions under which the problem occurs.
* With WC 10.8.1 and 6.5.0 or 6.5.8 combinations, duplicate display does not occur.
* With 6.6.0, 6.7.0, or 6.8.0 combinations, duplicate display occurs.
* I have not tested other combinations.

* I had AI investigate.
* After investigating, I found that the shipping rate returned by the Store API
already contains:
* ```wp-block-code
"description": "ABCDEF"
```
* WooCommerce Blocks displays this description natively, while Flexible Shipping
also renders the same description through its own JavaScript in `assets/js/shipping-
method-block-checkout.js`.
* Relevant code:
* ```wp-block-code
const description = getRateDescription( rate );
if ( description ) {
if ( existingDescription ) {
...
} else if ( insertionAnchor ) {
insertionAnchor.insertAdjacentElement(
'afterend',
createDescriptionNode( description )
);
}
}
```
* As a result, both of the following elements are rendered:
* WooCommerce Blocks native output:
* ```wp-block-code
```
* Flexible Shipping custom output:
* ```wp-block-code
ABCDEF
```
* This causes the Method Description to appear twice whenever the Flexible Shipping
method is selected.
* Since the Store API already provides the description and WooCommerce Blocks displays
it natively, the additional description rendering in `shipping-method-block-checkout.
js` appears to be redundant in current WooCommerce Blocks versions.
