Unhappy customer

The two plants mentioned above are still doing fine and seem striving for now. However , I ordered a mango tree delivered last week that is dying already. All leaves were shriveled when delivered then in four days most of the leaves except two were gone. Now seems the tree is dying. Can anything be done for that small branch? This is my question. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Red custard apple came with rot and no leaves :(

I have ordered many plants from Everglades and my plants are thriving. However, this red clustered apple I ordered came with no leaves and stem rot. Part of its stem is still green so I have hope it will recover.
