Sorry all...practically new to this and am a bit confused.
I purchased $230 worth of bitcoin yesterday via an exchange to my online wallet. I received it today and instantly transferred it to my software wallet (electrum). Electrum currently says "Replaceable." Fee I paid was 318 sat/B. It has been more than 3 hours since then.

Does things look normal? Electrum says expected confirmation time is 5 blocks.
Expected confirmation time for that transaction fee is probably about 1 or two blocks. Electrum seems to be overestimating stuff lately.
It looks like your problem is with the transaction not getting around the network very quickly and aren't being picked up by nodes.
In electrum, you can rebroadcast transactions (which you should try to do once the exchange releases the coins).
