It doesn’t look dead yet. Maybe check the roots and repot into new soil?
I’d say monitor it; if you just got the plant a week ago, already watered it, and given it adequate lighting and humidity, and it doesn't look diseased or suffering from pests, it's not anything you're doing wrong. It's most likely still suffering from the stress caused by the prolonged travel (little light or water), and now, on top of that, it has to adjust to a whole new environment. Some plants are a little bit dramatic; it might take them only a few days to recover from stress and adapt to a new environment. However, some plants are prima donnas and will take weeks to recover; I think your plant is the latter. There is nothing you can really do but continue to keep an eye on it and wait for it to adjust.
