TBH, usb chargers are so cheap and easy to buy a new one, it is more trouble than it is worth sending the old one back. You will still need a charger in the mean time and any suitable charger will do, provided it has at least same amps rating.

I lost my old one and got an email about them sending me a new one. Great, except there's only the actual plug part in the package they've sent me...
