## Sourcing guides

- [1688 vs Alibaba: When You Need a Team in China to Buy](https://pyxisps.com/blog/1688-vs-alibaba): Alibaba is built for you. 1688 is built for China. The gap is language, payment, and export, not only price.
- [Factory Audit vs Product Inspection: What Each Protects You From](https://pyxisps.com/blog/factory-audit-vs-product-inspection-china): An audit is the plant. An inspection is the shipment. Booking only the second one after you picked the wrong factory is late.
- [How to Write a Product Spec a Chinese Factory Cannot Misread](https://pyxisps.com/blog/product-spec-sheet-china-factory): Leave a line blank and someone on the floor will guess. That is how bulk drifts from the sample.
- [OEM vs ODM vs Private Label in China: Which Path You Need](https://pyxisps.com/blog/oem-vs-odm-vs-private-label-china): If the design is yours, that is OEM. If you brand a factory's existing product, that is ODM or private label. Mixing the words is how sample rounds never end.
- [FOB vs CIF vs DDP When You Ship from China](https://pyxisps.com/blog/fob-vs-cif-vs-ddp-china): The Incoterm on the quote decides who pays, who holds risk, and how much control you keep.
