Your code is valid, except for the fact that the shift/push functions need to be lowercase. So, this would work:

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

They don't need shipping to be an array, just a variable. To add the first item you only want to show it as part of the shipping variable.

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

var shipping;

orderQueue.shift();

shipping = '1XT567437';
