Does anyone have any suggestions on how on earth I get it out without pulling apart the cupboard?
I am thinking of taping something to the end of a pole .... but what? A hook maybe ...
I am stumped here. If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I'd leave it but the ants will have a field day when they find it. Ants or cockroaches ...

- the box is unopened
- not sure of the relevance but it's Sultana Bran
- the new built in cupboard doesn't reach the side wall so they covered the front with a long strip of the laminate stuff the door is out of leaving a gap at the top that is about 2.5m to the floor
- the ceiling is another 1m above the cupboard so I do have some room to manouvre
Thanks for all your advice. My plan will be to tape a coat hanger to the end of a long straight edge or a broom pole and try to hook it up.

I have something similar that may be more solid to work with than the coat hanger
I am feeling confident I can salvage this situation tonight when I get home

I reckon her 1500w Wertheim would lift a bag of flour
