Even, if it would have lasted three hours, it actually would be "normal", even fast nowadays. A transaction can take several days. But as I remember coinbase sent out transactions always very fast.
Since they consumes the high amount of fees they have to done the transaction faster than other online wallet but it delay now. When you done the transaction from the coinbase wallet you use to get the email, if you don't get the email you will not able to get the tx id of that transaction as well.
They always says they did not consumes any money for the transaction we made but they consumes high fees like other online wallet?
This so cheap move from the coinbase team. I have sent around 0.08 btc now but they charges 0.0017 btc and lbc consumes the deposit fund as 0.0012 bitcoins. This completely ridiculous for the people who is sending the low amount. I think it will recovered after the hard fork.
Op's problem is not about fees, It's about the huge backlog of outgoing transactions in coinbase which is why some transactions aren't processed quickly and have remained "pending" for a few hours. You'll see it in the first few posts, It's stated that the receiving address didn't have any receiving transaction yet.
Identified - Due to high volume, we are experiencing a backlog of outgoing transactions for BTC and ETH. Our team is working on increasing our capacity so that we can process transactions more quickly. Sends of BTC and ETH may be delayed by several hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

It's true that miner fee's doesn't go to them because it goes to the miner who included your transaction in a block. If you want to know if your fee or some portion of it were claimed by coinbase, you can just paste your transaction ID in any block explorer:
