Japan car mods
I ordered some parts from a Japan distributor over 3+ months ago and paid $500 for FedEx/ UPS overnight air mail. today, they shipped via "Pilot" ground freight.
also 1 of the 4 parts is still on back order. what would you guys do, what do you think is fair? |

Tell them to refund the shipping? I'd cancel the rest of the order if you could get them from somewhere else

It is hard to tell from your post what was ordered, expectations, and what they actually offered for shipping. If they are shipping freight, then I assume it is something heavy. Also — when something goes freight that usually means it has hit a weight limit to make it ineligible for a normal express shipping method. In general I don't think there is usually a next day or overnight option for freight deliveries for most shipping companies.
I don't know where you are located but I did a quick check. If something was 150kgs in a smallish box .. from Tokyo to a short distance Los Angeles would cost nearly $3000 to ship with a delivery of next Friday. There's possibly customs and other fees involved here too. Just to give an idea. I don't know what you ordered or what they set as expectations for shipping in that $500 .. but shipping isn't cheap... so it could be fair but I only know what you wrote above and have no clue.
