Hi Maxwell,

You are correct in that you need to use shift(), but you have too many variables going on and there shouldn't be anything hard-coded into the shipping variable.

The challenge gives you the line of code with the data. You just need to pull the requested data out and store it in the variable shipping.

The correct line of code will be var shipping = orderQueue.shift();

Keep Coding! :)
