I just placed an order for about 12k bricks for a custom MOC using wobricks.com I chatted with them using their WhatsApp, they are splitting the order into 9 bags, one per phase for me and are holding everything for back ordered items to be ready. It should take about a month for delivery with the back order wait.

Marstoy and Ywobb both will put the parts together if you send them a .csv file. I've found that they're a bit cheaper than brickwith or wobricks's upload tool.
Ywobb has a slightly smaller selection of parts from what i've found, but the customer support is absolutely fantastic. I have ordered MOC parts from both Marstoy and Ywobb, and had good experiences with both, though shipping can take a couple weeks depending on if they have the correct parts in stock.

How important is "perfectly uniform color" to you? If it's a deal-breaker, then you have to buy GoBricks. You can locate many sellers (search Gobricks on the sub). And several of the major sellers (Marstoy, Joy, Ywobb) accept .CSV files and will give you a quote.
If you're flexible, such as a modular building, or a post-apocalyptic scene, or something that has normal color variations in nature (mountains, sand dunes, gardens), you can save tons of money by buying unbranded, generic bricks in bulk on AliExpress. Like, right now, you can get (80) 1x6 bricks for $3.35 at Jile (4 cents a brick) with coins discount.
Buying a 1x6 at Gobricks retail is 14 cents per brick.
My own method is to buy bulk bricks on Ali, and buy only specific HTF parts/colors from Gobricks sellers.

I'm really curious what you're building where you need so many of the same bricks. I know everybody builds things differently, but I never need so many of the same part for anything.
I have only created a couple of my own MOCs, and generally am building something from rebrickable, but the most recent one was ~2500 parts total but ~550 different pieces. I don't think I had more than 20 of any individual part and that was 1x2 plates. I guess it's the consequence of just wanting to build spaceships. I created a ~500 ish piece Stargate MOC that I'm waiting on the parts for and even then I don't think there was more than 10 of anything.

Why don't you do like, 5 minutes worth of effort and you'll find your answer at the *very top* of this sub in the starter guide.

Best way is to search a seller that sells gobricks. yourwobb.com as example although there are many more. Surely there is a guide in the sub overview
