I've made quite a large list of cards to order, around 150 cards. I would like to know if there are any programs that let you calculate how much a list of cards would cost at the different suppliers online. With an order as big as this, I don't want to pick a random one, but make sure I get the better deal.
If there are no programs or sites like this, what site would you recommend for big orders? I've used CFB and CardKingdom earlier, both with nothing but positive results. I know CFB has a 5% return on purchases, so that's atleast something.
Decked Builder on iOS and Mac. iMTG on iOS. Pretty sure there are websites that let you do that as well.
I'm a creature of habit, so I typically use Star City Games. They have always been good to me, and the customer service has been top notch.
Depending on the card and the amount of that card you get (4 of Sublime Archangel for example) eBay will probably be your best bet. Then get the cheaper cards on a major site.
Ig you want to get the cards for cheap cheap, use ebay; then if that fails use sellers on tcg with a high number of positive ratings; thenif that fails use SCG, CFB, CK, T&T, CSI, etc.

List:
TCG player has a mass card entry option, and then a price optimizer, that does just that. First you use mass entry to get all your cards in a cart, then you click optimize cart. On the next page you set specifications about the cards, like the conditions you will accept ect. Then it finds you the best price.

If you're ordering low-end cards, I'd suggest looking at AdventuresON. They have really great prices for commons/uncommons. Otherwise if your list is mostly higher end cards, ebay is your friend.
This. With their Cart Optimizer, it's real easy to get the best price for what you want. Even with a weird order. You can specify the exact condition, set, etc... you want. I've used it several times without issue.

It /used/ to have a lot of issues, but they've fixed them.
This is arguably the easiest and most efficient way to buy cards. You're almost guaranteed it'll be in stock, and it'll snag you the best price. It's super easy, too.
If you want to work for it, you can probably get a few better deals on eBay.
Seeing as you're in the EU, I could also refer you to https://www.magiccardmarket.eu/
Make sure you insure your purchase. Oh, and look for the bigger (professional) sellers - if you do "Search Members", the biggest one will be on top when you dont fill in anything. They're mostly Germany-based.

Norway's not in the EU, and it has some rather stupid import taxes on things to boot. Any orders from multiple people from Magic Card Market will instantly negate any sort of low price you find, and it's pretty unlikely you'll find a single seller with all the cards you want to pick up.
Card Kingdom gives you free shipping on orders over USD$200, so you might want to stick with them if you're ordering anything but 100% jank. They also lie about what their shipments are worth on the customs forms (everything I've ever ordered from them has been $25 and a gift, regardless of actual value), for what it's worth.
I use ABUGames. I don't know how they're prices are compared to other sites, but they're very speedy and very courteous. One time they forgot to pack four snow-covered mountains into one of my orders, I called them the day i got the package and two days later I had the mountains. It might just be one guy running it out of Idaho, but he's good.

I draft and play EDH. If a Standard player can't understand who a card is for, it's probably for me.
I also write things about good films.

Have to agree. I've been ordering from them since 2010, and their customer care personnel are good at doing their job.
