Bristol Plymouth Moving & Storage works out of a warehouse at 105 Weaver Street in Fall River and has been moving households and offices around southeastern New England since 1983. The company describes itself as family-owned and operated, and the Better Business Bureau, which has accredited it since December 2005, lists Peter Mosher as president and Diana Mosher as office manager alongside about ten employees. Most of what it does is straightforward household moving: local jobs around Fall River, New Bedford, Somerset, Taunton, Attleboro, Fairhaven, Westport and Plymouth, plus long-distance work it handles as an interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines. It also runs climate-controlled containerized storage on site and offers full or partial packing. Customers who hired them keep coming back to the same two things: careful handling and an estimate that holds. A 2023 reviewer said the crew worked quickly while protecting both furniture and drywall, and another that year, after bringing in several movers for quotes, described Bristol Plymouth's estimate as the most comprehensive and said the final bill came in hundreds of dollars below what rivals had quoted. A 2021 customer wrote that the owner came out to the house to estimate — other movers had not — and that the crew fit a three-bedroom house into one 26-foot truck that two rival firms said would need two. The long-haul work draws the same praise: a 2025 review of a Fall River-to-Tennessee move named the driver and said everything was covered and the price was what was expected, and a 2023 review described a Massachusetts-to-Ohio interstate move in similar terms. Google shows 4.6 stars from 34 ratings. The one sharp complaint on file is about money. In a December 2025 review, a customer said a $6,100 estimate turned into an extra $4,200 demanded on moving day — though the same reviewer wrote that the job had actually been arranged through a broker, Global Elegance, and a 2025 reviewer separately argued that an earlier zero-star review had confused this company with a Texas firm called Bristol Moving. A Spanish-language reviewer in 2024 called the staff cordial but the prices somewhat high. They are a reasonable call for a Fall River-area household move, local or cross-country, especially if you want an in-home estimate from the owner. Before booking, confirm you are contracting with Bristol Plymouth directly rather than through a broker, get the estimate and any possible add-ons in writing, and check the U.S. DOT number the site publishes (2256609) in the FMCSA's free database.

I noticed a few negative reviews on your page. If you need help, contact me via the whatapps number in my bio.
If you like having a $6100 estimate and then hold you hostage on moving day until you pay an additional $4200, this is your company. I would never deal with what I discovered was a broker that contracted movers, which Bristol was it for me. If it was a fair price, why didn't they just tell me that in the estimate? Global Elegance was the broker. Stay away.
We moved from Fall River to Tennessee and used Bristol Plymouth Movers from Fall River Massachusetts.. These movers were excellent. Patrick and his crew were personable both pick up and delivery. They took care to cover all my furniture and handle our stuff with care. The price was what was expected. Everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend. I read previous comments and believe the person who gave a Zero had the wrong company as they were from Texas. There is a difference between Bristol Plymouth Moving and Bristol Moving.
We used your New Jersey office for my move from Baltimore to NC and please give James a pat on the back and a big raise. This guy is absolutely amazing. He was communicative, showed up in Baltimore on time took a quick inventory and got right to to work with his crew. They wrapped my stuff and took great care to make sure things didn’t get damaged. I am going through a divorce and we were splitting up furniture and he even took the time to show my soon to be ex husband how to disassemble his couch and move to the garage so he could move it the following day. I dropped an old iPhone in one of my boxes to track my stuff so I could see it moving south. I was happy to have James and his team deliver my things to NC. He texted me and told me details on the day he would deliver and payment details and answered all my questions. The only thing I don’t understand is why you won’t take a cashiers check as final payment. It’s just as good as cash or a postal money order. The only thing I could think of is maybe you have been burned before by someone counterfeiting. James answered all my questions regarding this too. They showed up a little late but he was communicative that they had hit traffic and told me the time to expect them. They unloaded my furniture to my dad’s house in NC and loaded more up to take to storage. Your team made a stressful situation much less stressful. Thanks James and team!!! Take care! Wishing you all the best !!
I enjoyed working with Bristol-Plymouth Movers. They were very communicative and accommodating. Flexible with appointment times, prompt and courteous. Very professional and well-mannered. Everything went smoothly and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
