About

China Advantage was born out of the need for our own clothing importing business, known as Richard James (est 1977) in Australia, to have representation in China. Initially China Advantage was simply the office of Richard James which managed our orders and supplier relations. From there it grew as we saw an opportunity to assist others with their own importing needs. Today China Advantage assists customers with their apparel needs from around the globe.

China Advantage is operated from 2 locations. The main office is in Ningbo China which is controlled by the Australian office. Our staff have all worked in the apparel industry for the majority of their working lives and come with a wealth of experience. Many originally worked for state run corporations before joining China Advantage and have specific product area strengths. The balance and depth of product knowledge, both from a technical and fashion point of view, is vast across our people and they have a great understanding of the demands and expectations that customers of today have.

Our Supplier Family is similarly well balanced and deep across all product categories. Most of the suppliers we deal with have been working with us for 10 years or more, somewhat of an achievement in itself. Over the years of working together the relationships have developed very strong bonds and it is these bonds that hold us in good stead when introducing new customers.

The strength or advantage that we have is that we have already established the true price levels of items and we can ensure you have access to those, mitigating your risk of paying more than you need to. Additionally customers can find comfort from the fact that the supplier relations are well established. It's not easy to pick a new supplier at the Canton fair or similar trade shows, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. As a customer of China Advantage you will also gain access to our office and resources in Ningbo, as it becomes 'your' China office.
