Automatic parcel sizing device () comprising: a trihedral parcel support () having three panels (A,B,C) for receiving a parcel () to be sized, each panel of which being disposed orthogonal to the other two panels and defining a vertex () at an intersection point of said three panels, an optical sensor () for obtaining an image of the parcel, and a processor unit () in signal communication with said optical sensor for determining from said image of the parcel the respective dimensions of three parcel edges (A,B,C) which have a common vertex (D), wherein said vertex of the trihedral parcel support is disposed upside down such that, thanks to the gravity, the parcel is always correctly placed regarding the trihedral parcel support and said optical sensor is placed below and at a fixed distance from said vertex.
