Australia-Based China Sourcing
Your Australia-Based China Sourcing Agent
Adelaide-based team physically accompanies you to Chinese factories. Verification, translation and negotiation — all included.
What We Do
Full-Service China Sourcing Support, Managed from Australia
Unlike large-volume platforms that process RFQs through a centralised system, WAG is an Adelaide-based team with its own people on the ground in China. Every service below is delivered by our team — never subcontracted to third-party inspectors or rebate-influenced agents.
Factory Verification
On-site factory audits verifying registration, production capacity, certifications and operational maturity — not just a database lookup.
On-Site Quality Inspection
Pre-production and pre-shipment quality checks conducted in person at the factory floor. We catch defects before containers leave China.
Negotiation Support
Mandarin-speaking negotiators on the factory floor advocating for your pricing, payment terms, and contract conditions with genuine leverage.
Supplier Sourcing
We identify and shortlist 2–3 pre-screened factories matched to your product, industry, and volume requirements within 3–7 business days.
Project Accompaniment
Your bilingual guide accompanies you through every factory visit — handling translation, cultural facilitation, and ground logistics so you stay focused on evaluation.

Client Story
How a Melbourne AV Equipment Importer Verified Their Supply Chain
A Melbourne-based importer of professional audio-visual equipment had been sourcing from a single Chinese factory for three years. Margins were tightening, quality complaints were rising, and the factory had become increasingly unresponsive on pricing renegotiation. They reached out to WAG to verify their existing supplier and explore alternatives.
The Challenge
The existing supplier had stopped allowing factory visits, quality defect rates had doubled over 12 months, and the importer had no way to independently verify whether the factory was still manufacturing in-house or sub-contracting production to smaller workshops.
WAG's Approach
Over four days our team visited the existing factory and two alternative suppliers in Guangdong. We verified business registrations, photographed production lines, interviewed floor managers, and cross-checked claimed certifications against issuing bodies.
The Outcome
Our verification confirmed the existing factory had shifted significant production to an unregistered sub-contractor. We shortlisted an alternative supplier with 14 years of AV equipment manufacturing history and better unit pricing — the client transitioned within six weeks with zero supply interruption.
