Some Prime Day deals have historically run over into Thursday/Friday, but we wouldn't just assume this will be the case this time around. So if you see a decent price on a product that you actually want, we'd recommend that you pull the trigger now. Many Prime-eligible products come with free returns anyway (be sure to check the individual listing for details) so if you aren't happy there's always the option to send the item back.
