Yeah, the shipping and minimum order charges suck.

USA Midway has a minimum of $25.00 purchase any amount below does have a shipping surcharge.
Also any gun powder or primers has a federal mandated hazardous material charge of $20.00, this is not charged on ammunition.
Have purchased many times from Midway and found there shipping to be quite reasonable.
Delivery is quick from there central location in Columbia, MO

My standard advice is to hit a couple gun shows and buy up 6 or more used reloading manuals. Different brands. Read them. One brand will "read easier" for you. Buy one of those new for current data.
With the extensive immersion in the method(s) you will start to see what you need (and want) for what you want to do. Lee hand press and set of dies for 20 or 40 bolt action rifle loads for deer a year. Dippers for powder do an adequate job if you don't have to have the flattest primers around... Plenty. If you plan on competing in pistol, you may want a progressive press capable of making the thousands of rounds a year you will need. Competition? Some don't even use a press. Wilson hand dies for one. Now what they spend on case prep tools gets unreal. "Find your groove" but you won't stay in it. Always something else to try. New? Well, new to you. Might help. Might gather dust. (There is ebay???) Happy New Year. Luck.
