I don't want to malign the transporters in your business, but the chance that they actually meaningfully understand the nuance of this is slim to none.

This is a trust problem. Either people trust you, or they don't. You've attempted to increase their trust in you by creating a system that would increase somebody's trust if they had your understanding of the underlying technology. Very few people have this, and the overlap between the people with that understanding and your customers and clients is vanishingly small.

Trust really isn't binary.

Or if they had a handwaivey "I've heard that blockchain increases the verifiability of things" level of understanding.
