Shapeshift.io always taking such big fees?

I was tinkering w/ ways to get around BTC fees so I bought $50 worth of LTC and used shapeshift into Monero. Now I have $35 worth of monero. Is this standard?

Bitcoin transaction fees are very high right now (yeah, around $15). I'm sure that's why that happened.
