Three things: Labour, time and service.

A removal service involves a higher level of customer service from the company and a lower level of efffort from the customer.
They may dismantle furniture, move difficult items from difficult places, advise and repack unsuitably prepared items. They will be expert in loading and securing furniture. They will supply a crew as may be appropriate for your needs
They will load and unload at times agreed with you for your convenience.

A delivery service. This organises and optimises a route on behalf of several customers per day. They require flexibility in timing, agreeing to pick up and deliver only within broad time parameters.
Delivery and courier companies will expect loading and unloading time to be minimal, as if from or to a warehouse's loading bay.
Items to be moved will need to be suitably packaged and enclosed for easy moving, storing and identification. You will need to assure them of quick and easy loading (and unloading)to interest them. Substantial items of furniture may not be suitable for a delivery service.

So although many removals will have complications which disqualify them from the efficencies and savings of a delivery type of service, you should consider how to simplify your move to get the best price.
