How late is post office open April 15 2014 Omaha NE?

Many post offices have postal workers who are out until midnight or at least "very late" to collect tax filings and get them dated by the 15th. The post office proper will close at 5, 5:30 or 6 p.m. as usual (the actual closing hours vary by office). The U.S. Postal Service knows what time it is, and they will, by and large, have folks out to collect that most important piece of mail and get it post marked with that April 15th post mark. There is 1.800.ASK.USPS (1.800.275.8777) for a recorded message. There is also the post office's web site (and a link is provided). Note that actually getting someone to pick up a phone at this late hour is unlikely, but mail handlers are out there right now.

Is post office open on April 1?

They should be open in the USA. It's a Friday and there is no special reason why they would be closed. Unless they were shut down because of extremely bad weather, which hit some parts of the USA on Apr. 28, 2011. 99% of all USA post offices will be open tomorrow, Friday Apr.29, 2011.
