Hi Rodger, You can access the different elements in an array using the index notation (first item is index 0, second item is index 1 and so on). So, to add the first element of the order queue to the shipping variable, you would do:

var shipping = orderQueue[0];

If it solved your issue or helped you understand more, please mark as best answer! Happy Coding!
