We were using Blockchain with our site for quite a while but this has become ridiculous - they were charging around $0.04 initially for sending 1 Bitcoin transfer but now if we paid a member $1.50 for instance (worth of Bitcoins, a minimal amount) we would see a $1.75 deduction i.e. $0.25 is in fees!

That's absolutely ridiculous, yesterday it was $0.11 and now it's $0.25 - they keep on raising the fees.

Is this normal?

This is odd, i sent 5$ few hours ago and payed 0.07$ fee. You didn't provide much information about transaction, whats tx size? Did you know that you can adjust fees when sending? Only thing you need to do is click advanced button and enter fee

The average mempool size is about 3MB. So you usually to pay higher than the recommended fees per kB.
