Rest assured ...

"Rest assured ... that your goods are in good hands". I'd avoid "Relax" because that seems to suggest that customers are running around in frantic circles like headless chickens.

Or "people are dying to avail of our services" :-)
agree Ian M-H (X) : "Rest assured" is great but I'm not sure about "goods" and "good" - can't decide whether it's neat or confusing. Perhaps consignment/deliveries or safe/expert hands?

Yes indeed. Or if they are transporting illegal substances "Arrest assured" ... :-)
