Hey Sarfaraj,

you almost got it right, good job! The problem is that you're creating shipping as an array but it should just be a variable containing the first item of the orderQueue array. So if you remove the second line and remove the brackets around orderQueue.shift(); it should work.

Like so:

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

I hope that helps! :)
