I would let TT have it, if I were you.
Really? You can't have it both ways - attacking TT and then turn around and call me a thread hijacker for trying to be the good guy here (not an enabler). Being a little two faced are we?
Clay, I know what it's like to have your dreams shattered, I hope things work out in your favor and you get some nice fruiting trees going, one way or the other!
Having said that......if TT did to that mango what they did to my cado "for the sake of saving on shipping expense", then it's toast. The yellow diseased leaves and poor trunk girth tell the story about the condition of that plant.
If it was shipped in a pot such that the root system wasn't disturbed, it might be OK. I'd take a photo of ALL plant material and if all else fails regarding being totally satisfied, file a dispute with my credit card company.
There's ways to push back and this site is one of the best.
http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/2785/ I learned the hard way to seek and read reviews on internet companies. In the last 12 mos. Top has received only 5 positive reports out of 9. I had a problem with a seed company, took them to task and reported them on Dave's Garden as being shady. Within a week I had my money back.
http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/1681/ Apparently nothing has changed with Top. Be sure to read the recent "neutral" entry by a man who paid them a personal visit, bought some stock only to find out it was not only sick but not as represented.

Regarding the
anthracnose, I luv the curative and systemic properties of T-methyl which is labeled for edibles. One such product is 3336-WP although I buy a cheaper generic brand. It relies on the same chemistry as the old (and wonderful) Benlate aka benomyl fungicide of the 70's. Be sure and use a surfactant in your spray or there will be no benefit. Also your water should have a pH at 7.0 or slightly below. A little ammonium sulfate (1 tsp./gal.) will take care of it if it's alkaline with a side benefit of inducing uptake of the product. Here's the label reflecting its effectiveness on about every kind of fruit tree leaf and fruit spots/rot/disease.
