var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];

shipping isn't supposed to be an array so as you remove the first item from the orderQueue array, save it to the shipping variable like this: 

var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = orderQueue.shift('1XT567437');
