Bad design that violates basic DB design checks. Redundant information will become a major
problem for you going forward. Unless you have hard and fast performance issues they
require it, just don't do it:-)
Create a single table that contains customer info and reference the information using
Foreign keys in your other tables that require customer information.

Why have customer info in both? Delivery and Billing info makes sense,
but why the redundant info in both? Anyone got views on this? Do/would
you do it differently, and could you tell us why? Cheers.

It is bad database design IMHO.
