When the instructions said "Create a new variable named shipping", they meant a scalar (not an array) variable.

And instead of duplicating the static literal value, see if you can use the actual value stored in the array to assign the new variable.

The shipping variable should be a simple variable and not an array.

i.e. var shipping = orderQueue.shift()
