I just see damage to the leaves that left black areas. Physical damage (e.g., from getting rattled around in the box during shipping) will cause black spots. I don't think you have a disease problem, from what I see. Also seems unlikely given that these were disease-free, tissue cultured plants, that were most likely grown in a greenhouse.
