This plant came I. The mail last week It looks tired and unwell. I am making sure it has great light and being cautious with how much water. How long do you think it will take to recover from being in the mail for however long. Or did I get a dying plant and there’s nothing I can do ?
Thanks all for any feedback.

@PiousLimabean84 rubber bands will be at the base of the trunks, usually just beneath the soil surface. Being stuck in a cramped dark box for several days can take its toll, but most plants bounce back just fine. It can take up to a month for them to fully acclimate to their new environment and recover from shipping, so I'd just give it more time. I agree with Nadia @DreamMachine that it looks perfectly healthy, maybe just a bit bent from being in the box.
@PiousLimabean84 Immediately unbox your shipped money tree, place it in bright, indirect light, and water it thoroughly. Allow it to acclimate to its new environment for 3–5 days before repotting, and check for hidden rubber bands on the roots. To ensure long-term health, use well-draining soil, water only when the top 50–75% of the soil is dry, and avoid direct sunlight. Immediate Post-Shipping Care Unpack Immediately: Remove the plant from the box to give it fresh air and light.Initial Watering: Water thoroughly to hydrate the plant after transit, ensuring it drains well.Light Adjustment: Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can stress or burn the, now sensitive, leaves.Inspect and Clean: Remove any packing material. Check for, and remove, rubber bands or ties around the base of the trunk or roots, as these can restrict growth.Check for Damage: Cut off yellow or damaged leaves to help the plant focus energy on recovery..
