Normally bricklink doesn’t tell the shipping cost and I’m wondering what the
best way to buy Minifigs in bulk is. Any help would be appreciated.

It will take more work but I would suggest buying a bulk lot off of eBay.
There is a charity in Ontario that separates figures from bricks and then posts
them as bulk sales.
Normally they will sell about 5 pounds at a time. They even separate into themes.
Star Wars used to go for about $200 a pound. Now it has gone up a lot, so your
first purchase would likely be close to $1500.
Put the figures back together, keep the ones you don’t have, sell all the duplicates
and parts that don’t complete a figure. Take the money you earn back and buy
another lot and maybe a few of the rare figures off BL.
Continue to repeat and you will get there eventually with a much lower total
cost.
This method will take a lot of time and work to clean, sort, assemble, store,
sell, pick, package and ship.
It is way more work than you could possibly think starting out.
But if you like it, it can be fun.
Good luck
Edward
