$0.25 as a miner fee for sending $575 worth of bitcoin? That sounds reasonable to me, unless you mean something else. I've paid higher fees to send less bitcoin in the past using Android wallets. What you described doesn't sound all that high.
Standard fees, I don't see the issue. It'd be a lot higher if you were sending money abroad via Western Union or with Paypal.
Bitcoin is still & will be for a long time a very cheap way to send money.
